Hannah Thomas paints dreamlike, abstract landscapes full of weird biomorphic shapes, hybrid creatures and visceral body parts full of symbols and metaphor. In this episode, she talks about her previous career as a photographer shooting rock musicians, why she gave up photography for painting, her instinctive process often inspired by music, her interest in Absurdism, how restraints on personal freedom have inspired various series of her works, and how her art is evolving.
