Cloudscape
Hannah Claus – 2014
“Claus’ process driven practice reflects upon accumulation and time, and her works are imbued with references to earthly elements: water, stone and sky.”
In her new exhibition cloudscape, Montreal-based artist Hannah Claus presents a sculptural installation both simple and complex. Enveloping the gallery space like a slow moving fog, thousands of vellum ovals are methodically arranged in amorphous formations. Claus’ process driven practice reflects upon accumulation and time, and her works are imbued with references to earthly elements: water, stone and sky. If in earlier works, Claus examined pattern and repetition in relation to domestic design, language and identity, in cloudscape, form and dissolution are inextricably linked with landscape and the intangible.
