Hannah Theiss' practice is formed around the collaborative dance between humanity and the natural world we so briefly inhabit. She finds inspiration in the patterns and markings of time found in shell ridges, tree rings, and sedimentary layers below our feet, each depicting a unique and never-replicable story.

Her process allows for the natural world to leave its fingerprints next to my own: encouraging ink to run and dry as it pleases; allowing material to tear without controlling its path; capturing the shadow of netting moving in the breeze in a cyanotype. I often take a back seat to what emerges, responding with my own structure, arrangement, or interpretation. My work reflects upon our relationship with the natural world around us, and the natural landscapes within us, exploring how psychology shapes the ways we perceive, connect, and coexist with both.
