 Hannah has worked with artists and objects since 2011. Their interdisciplinary approach to exhibitions stems from their experience as a practicing sculptor and animator working with excavation finds in the Mediterranean and Near East. Under the University of Wollongong’s Faculty of Creative Arts and Project Contemporary Art Space, they were instrumental in showcasing hundreds of student and post-graduate works in sculpture, textiles, multimedia and design. Their style of documenting artworks and artefacts through animation and interactive platforms has been applied to anthropological and archaeological collections in the Australian Museum, and to Cypriot collection in the Nicholson Museum. Hannah holds an Honours degree in Creative Arts and Multimedia from the University of Wollongong, and a Masters in Museum and Cultural Heritage Studies form the University of Sydney.
