Bio / CV

Hannah Scott is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores ways of visualising and communicating environmental change through the use of performance, installation, film, photography and sound.
Combining art, science and personal experiences, Hannah creates work that reflects on humanity’s relationship with the natural world and endeavours to raise awareness of ecological issues. She has worked with climate and environmental scientists, and other professionals, to accurately inform her research.
Mindful of what she consumes, produces and wastes, Hannah has been exploring the idea of art as actions, challenging her own values and abilities, rather than simply delivering a moral message. Since 2017, she has cycled and sailed approximately twenty thousand miles. Journeys have become integral to her practice as a source of inspiration as well as being performative works in their own right.
Hannah Scott (b.1976) is a British artist based in London, UK. She is a graduate of Central Saint Martins MA Art and Science 2017 and BA Arts and Design 2000, and Middlesex University MSc Multimedia Application Design 2003; a member of the Wilderness Art Collective; a MullenLowe NOVA award winner; and an alumna of The Arctic Circle artist residency.
