Hannah & Nemo

"We aspire to create something that feels fresh every time you look at it, but more importantly speaks of the connection between nature and the built environment."

Hannah and Nemo's use of aluminum cans correlates with their compulsion to recycle and conserve in every aspect of their life, but has evolved into a representation of the conflict between consumerism and environmentalism.

Hannah and Nemo create textile-like interactive mosaic assemblages from common materials: wood, nails, and discarded aluminum cans. Utilizing low-tech tools such as hole-punchers and hammers, the couple transforms common beverage cans into reflective, flickering tapestries that seem to move of their own accord.

Hannah and Nemo have been influenced by their study of architecture, incorporating elements of design theory such as color, pattern, space, texture, repetition, and movement to articulate their aesthetic concept through traditional construction techniques.
