Artist Statement
A graceful flag of revolution, The Rib Bone emerged from the subtexts of patriarchy which shaped my experiences as a young woman within a religion informed society. The silk is translucent and light, it ripples softly in the breeze created by passage of people, and carries its own breath, a culmination of the thoughts and memories projected onto and out of it. It pools on the floor, heavy with nostalgia, reminiscent of the end of a wedding dress, at odds with the gothic imagery of hand and bone. Gently questioning, challenging, summative.
About the Artist
Hannah Rose Arnold
Hannah Rose Arnold's photographs document the physical and social landscapes of Aotearoa New Zealand with gentle nostalgia. She treats her subjects with a sense of curiosity and grace, born of a transient nature.
Arnold's ongoing practice draws links between the physical and psychological spaces in which we dwell - exploring themes of faith, trauma, redemption and sense of place, through a variety of mediums. Arnold is interested in storytelling, folklore and the complex social and environmental histories of this land. Her work is informed by colonial history, a rambling upbringing and a deep concern for, and connection with, the environment.
