Hannah Dubois is an interdisciplinary artist based in so-called Vancouver, BC.
Her works incorporate a variety of mediums including photography, video, ceramics, collaborative and social practices, and more recently, drawing and sculpture. Inviting opportunities to see the every-day world in a new light, celebrating the subtitles of our shared spaces and experiences and exposing our latent collectiveness amidst a society that privileges individualism, Dubois’s work is characterized by a prosaic approach to the politics of representation.
With a documentary approach, her lens-based works highlight rejected objects and mundane urban landscapes. Her emerging drawing and sculpture practice uses careful looking and copying of familiar objects to explore their deeper sentimental and social associations. Connecting her diverse body of work is an interest in the quiet visual evidence of contemporary social issues. Community-based research and critical reflexivity are foundational methodologies within her practice, informing her commitment to ethical engagement with socially and culturally complex subject matter.
She received a BFA from Simon Fraser University with a major in Film Production before transitioning to a visual arts practice, and is currently pursuing a Fine Arts Diploma at Langara College. Hannah’s artworks have exhibited at the Audain Art Museum (Whistler), the MacKenzie Art Gallery (Regina), the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, the Polygon Art Gallery, Griffin Projects, TRAPP Projects, and Terminal Creek Contemporary (Bowen Island).
