Hannah-Clare de Gordun is an Irish self-taught, multi-disciplinary visual artist whose work explores identity, place and inheritance. Working primarily with ink, paper and textiles, she is interested in how memory and history are carried through both material and landscape.

Her recent body of work, Lomairín, features ink paintings inspired by tree rings — natural records of growth and time. The series developed following a period of somatic healing, which led her to reflect on the body as a site of stored experience. The works are created in a focused, meditative process using handmade paper dyed with natural pigments.

Her work has been exhibited at the National Botanic Gardens, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Temple Bar Gallery, Pallas Projects, the Museum of Literature Ireland, and has been featured in Holy Show, Photo Ireland and Porridge Magazine.
