HANNAH SKLAR (b.1996)

Hannah Sklar is a mixed media sculptor from Brooklyn, New York. Their interest in ceramic sculpture and drawing was cultivated at Oberlin College, where they earned a BA in Visual Art and an Art History minor. Their work has been exhibited in Ohio, Minnesota, New York City and California. Hannah’s artistic interests lie in the life of objects and their implication in polarizing gender, in creating a system of categorization and limitations on the body.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I draw and create mixed media ceramic sculptures. I make to disavow a feeling of disconnection that constricts me as someone who is told they see incorrectly, disabled; And as someone who is told they feel incorrectly in the labels of gender and sexuality.

I queer objects to deconstruct a predetermined visual language and restrictive discourse; to pull apart or put together to extricate myself from the margins of a labeling society and to implement myself in the building of a world. 

Embodying sentience, my  anthropomorphic forms allow you to connect to the undefined. My swooping cumulative arms hold you. They wrap around, telling you that what’s inside is safe and good and smart. Leaving what you have been told indecipherable, I give you a new way to see —to connect.
