An easy walk on Scotland Island, take the lower road: Florence Terrace. Follow the path to Skye Cottage and see the works of emerging artist Hannah Paine.
Hannah’s art is set against an eclectic mix of antiques and the beauty of the native gum trees. On the waterfront, take in Skye Cottage’s stunning northeast views of Pittwater.
Bio: artist at this stop
Born in Pittwater and having been surrounded by it throughout her life, artist Hannah Paine has taken from her surroundings and aestheticised her experience.
In the artist’s words: “A reflection falling on the mind, relates to how light and colour are reflected off everything around us. A reflection of the echo of a shadow falling from a silhouette. The image; everything is in a constant flux and movement, nothing is abiding. It is an expression of being, but not of one particular time.
Reflection and lighting fill the dark or empty work introducing an ‘otherness’, the idea of a non-existence of identity within the figure. This all relates to a greater visible but unknown narrative. A reflection falling on the mind, is the metaphor for being of one’s imagination, any one’s imagination. We share the same dawn and night, we skirt the same watery abyss: our unconsciousness.”
