Hanna Washburn

Born in Boston, MA / Works in Hudson Valley, NY
BIO
Hanna Washburn’s soft sculptures sag and bulge in shapes that reference human anatomy. Their plush forms grow almost organically from clothing, furniture, and found objects. Hanna’s work is focused on associations; the materials she uses come from objects with previous stories told in fabrics that come from domestic interiors (upholstery, gingham table cloths, curtains) and the sculptures she creates blend the feminine, grotesque, maternal, modest, and sexual.
You will love Hanna if: You have a favorite pillow at your grandma’s house
"I think a lot about intimacy in my work. I use almost all recycled materials - a lot of it is clothing from me or somebody close to me. I think a lot about these materials and their history since making my works is time-intensive. There is a ritualistic nature to my process."
