CATCHING THE EPHEMERAL is an assemblage of that which is not static or solitary. It is a manipulation of the artist’s hands and previous unknowns, blurring the differentiation between human and natural actions. There is an intentional ambiguity to the origin of the materials and their current state of being, suspicious of the beauty and value that is implied through interactions.

HANNAH PETKAU is an artist from Cortes Island, British Columbia, currently based in Calgary, Alberta where she received a BFA in Drawing from Alberta College of Art + Design in 2015. Her practice negotiates the interplay between humanity and what is thought of as nature, existing in an intermediate space.
