Hannah Rosenberg – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Hannah Rosenberg has always had a love of working with her hands. She studied apparel design at Drexel University in Philadelphia and worked for ten years in New York City as an apparel designer. She pursued her artwork in her small New York apartment creating, notably a series of small chair sculptures. Later her career took her to California where she worked as both an apparel and product designer while also pursuing her artwork. She transitioned to two dimensional pieces, working in colored pencil, watercolor and eventually moved to mixed media collage after developing a love for the for the mediums and the process. Her works in collage nodded back to her apparel design roots with the use of thread, stitching and fabrics mixed with recycled papers and paint. Her novel approach to materials and her love of experimentation helped to evolve her work, creating pieces that were rich with texture, color and depth, using collage in her own unique way-in more of a painterly fashion. As a multi-disciplinary artist, she also created sculptural pieces in metal, paper, and fabric. Her versatility in format, and technique, were grounded by her approach to materials and the desire to create beauty with items that have been cast off or discarded.
