Hannah Greely

Hannah's works aren't easy to find on the internet, I had to resort to image searching on Google and even then only finding pieces i'm already familiar with. Still though the above sculptures are the very reason I found Greely's work so appealing. I haven't seen another artist who can best her at imbuing anthropomorphic qaulities to ordinary objects and seemingly uninspiring materials. The topmost image entitled Joe is one of a series of Budweiser bottle pieces each with similarily common first name titles. More so than any of the artists other work invoke sympathy for their apparently self destructive and disassociative 'behaviour' - however they are merely inanimate objects. One could argue that the sympathy we feel for these post-modern homonculi
is actually a reflection of our own fears and anxieties.
