Claire Hannicq

The idea of combustion, or rather the after effects of burning, envelops Claire Hannicq’s work. Across her artistic practice, there exists a notion that while fire is capable of destroying branches and dry wood, it quickly burns out, and is ultimately extinguished. This leaves behind traces of ash and blackened wood, ideal crayon materials that can be used within her later projects.
