Exhibiting as part of Fort William Mountain Festival 15-23 Feb 2008

Current Work

Hannah's most recent work has been a series of portraits of members from the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team.  You can view these portraits here .

Hannah’s portraits of the members from the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team began as an opportunity for to meet her rescuers almost one year after they helped save her life.

Trying to deal with a traumatic event of which she has no memory had been a difficult task. Although friends and family explained the details of what happened many times, Hannah felt that there were pieces missing which made it difficult to process. By meeting the team and finding out more from the people involved with her rescue, she can now move on from this chapter which changed her life.

All team members are volunteers and can be called upon at any time of day. They are supported by RAF Kinloss and the Fort William Police station but receive little funding to cover the costs of replacing specialized equipment, vehicles and other overheads.

 “With this project, I would like to thank for the team for their kindness and I hope that this project raises awareness of the sterling service that Lochaber and all mountain rescue teams across the UK provide.”

 

 

Hannah is currently living and working in Nottingham.
