Artist statement

Hannah Scott is a multidisciplinary artist working primarily in sculpture, alongside printmaking, photography, film, and painting. Her material language spans marble, porcelain, bronze, steel, textiles, and ready-mades—each selected for its formal precision and conceptual resonance.

Rooted in a previous career as a hospital doctor, Scott’s esoteric practice draws on the poetic dimensions of science and medicine. Through classical forms such as figuration and drapery, she enters into a distinct, contemporary dialogue, exploring the fragility and complexity of being.

Her work navigates the threshold between beauty and inquiry. It often presents itself with quiet seduction— a folded cloth, a constellation of stars, a young girl, inviting aesthetic pleasure. But beneath these surfaces lies a deeper intent not motivated by response. Rather, an investigation into impermanence, the unresolvable nature of human experience, and the spaces that exist beyond life. Scott’s work poses open-ended questions about what it means to be and to confront the unknown.

There is an intelligence to the work—an ability to hold vulnerability and knowledge in balance. It does not seek to comfort, but to connect; to reveal shared truths, and gently agitate them until they resonate. The results feel both intimate and expansive,

Scott’s practice is ultimately a study of continuity between life and not-life.
