Hannah Greely

American mixed media artist From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove ads

Hannah Greely (born 1979) is an American mixed media artist. She mainly creates site-specific sculptural works that seek to redefine the boundary between art and life.[1] Her sculptures are colorful and often replicate ordinary objects or subjects, with subtle incongruencies in material or form.[2] Her material experimentations lend the work an uncanny quality, as recognizable objects fade from real to fictional.[3] Greely’s work explores open dialogue between object and environment, as well as the theatrical otherness of sculpture.
