Conservative Club, Long Street, Devizes SN10 1NW

Hannah Cantellow is a Wiltshire-based artist and printmaker, specialising in linocut, woodcut prints and illustrative designs.

Much of her work is inspired by a love of nature, landscape and archaeology, and this is reflected in her work. Hannah will be demonstrating Collagraph printing, where a textured plate is created, then inked and printed.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Hannah believes that when something is carved, it is transformed, made real, discoverable. 

The nature of working with both wood and linoleum becomes an alchemical process and experience. It is the conjuring of an image into being that is how printmaking stole her heart. The act of printing is a physical one, carving stories and uncovering tales, creating imaginary places combined with real life and lived ones.

The language of marks she translates from the natural world brings her landscapes to life through sweeping lines, undulating shapes, wide, fluid skies, rhythmic patterns, and movement.

She hopes to evoke a sense of experience, as if you’ve just been there, falling in love with the world again. A connection with a place, with a story, even if it is for a fleeting minute, a connection to ourselves, place, history, spirit and nature – this means everything to her. An impression on paper, but a lasting impression in the heart. This is what she works to create: a window into her world, a moment where you can dream into what you see, pause, ponder, connect, question, and unravel.

Hannah creates to reveal the interconnectedness of things. She creates to enchant.
