Layering assemblages of text, image, and found material, Hannah Tishkoff’s art and writing explores the emotional infrastructures of daily life. Their interdisciplinary practice spans painting, writing, and exhibition-making, often exploring the convergence of language, material, and direct experience. Working between form and feeling, their installations act as psychic arrangements that conjure existential and spiritual concerns through playful material and visual fragmentations. Evoking a lineage of vernacular and self-organized practices, they approach painting as a space of both interior excavation and communal orientation.
