Hannah MacCaig
About
Hannah MacCaig is a textile designer and artist specialised in print. Her work is heavily led by the process of drawing and the translation of artworks onto fabric, with a focus on design for interiors. Process is integral to her practice to ensure that the hand quality of artworks remain when translated into prints.
Often inspired by nature and travel, her work currently explores themes of relative time, perspective and scale through explorations into human nature relationships. Her current work seeks to mirror the reflective response felt in the presence of a landscape, serving as a contemplative exploration of time and scale within the natural world as well as an inquiry into the nature of beauty, the sublime and the human experience.
‘Redwood,’ a 5 metre screen print, forms part of the collection ‘Perspectives of Time.’ It features a repeating trunk pattern, designed with sustainability in mind and as a conceptual exploration of scale and time. The pattern’s potential for endless expansion mirrors the enduring and ever-growing nature of the redwood trees themselves.
