Hannah Rae
Hannah Rae is a textile artist based in Cambridge. Her work is formed of embroidery and free motion embroidery.
The works are responses to the environment and the passage of time. The surface of Rae’s work are pieced together through stitch, rust and eco printing, dyeing, painting, and applique; faded and weathered by use and the elements, fragments of past times.
