Current Ignite Studios Artist in Residence, Hannah Fox, is a professional practicing artist based in Naarm/Melbourne, with over twenty years of sustained studio practice. Her work is grounded in abstract painting and informed by the Australian landscape, particularly the way natural forms shift, meet, erode, and settle over time. She works with the relationship between mass and void, presence and absence, and how these dynamics can be explored through abstraction.
During her residency Fox will develop a focused body of new abstract paintings informed by the Northern Rivers environment and its distinct meeting points between coast, river, and hinterland terrains, translating the rhythms, tensions, and spatial qualities of the region into form and surface.
Fox holds a Bachelor of Fine Art from Monash University and has presented solo and group exhibitions across Australia and internationally. Her work has been selected as a finalist in major Australian art prizes and is held in private collections in Australia, the United States, Europe, and Asia.
