HANNAH GEORGE

My creative practice is driven by a need to document, interpret, and make sense of the spaces I inhabit. At its core, my work explores the idea of ‘home’ not as a fixed, physical location, but as a shifting feeling tied to memory, community, and emotional geography.

When I moved to Scotland, I lived and worked in a guest house - a space that was both intimate and public, transient and shared. This experience illuminated long-standing feelings of dislocation and impermanence. It became a catalyst for a body of work, including a zine, that explored the tension between personal and communal space, and the discomfort of never quite feeling ‘at home.’

I’m particularly interested in the fragmented nature of identity and space, and how art can emerge from that instability. As Margaret Atwood writes in Cat’s Eye, “my life is now multiple, and I am in fragments.” This multiplicity feels central to my process: the work begins in these in-between places, where discomfort, observation, and connection intersect.
