Welcome to this very special edition of Talk Art brought to you by "The Recharge in Nature Project", a three-year collaboration between National Parks UK and BMW. Our guest for today is the extremely talented Hannah Lees, a Margate-based artist whose art is deeply influenced by the beauty of nature, its landscapes, discarded treasures and sustainability.Hannah's artistic vision aligns seamlessly with The Recharge in Nature Project's mission, which aims to promote nature restoration, biodiversity, wellbeing, and accessibility. This initiative seeks to improve the electric vehicle charging infrastructure in and around our National Parks, making it more convenient for visitors to use an electric car while exploring the great outdoors. In this episode we delve into Hannah's work, her personal background, and the inspiration behind her creations.Hannah Lees’ work encompasses painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, textiles, ceramics, internet art, performance, writing, sound and video.Lees investigates ideas of cycles: constancy and mortality; the sense that things come to an end and the potential for new beginnings.This constancy, be it in religion, science, history or in organic matter, is visible in her practice through her attempts to make sense of and recognise traces of life.Through appreciating this, her work is focused towards an understanding of the essential nature of the materials she uses.Visit: https://www.hannahlees.com/Follows @hannahjleesHannah Lees' solo show 'Not now not anymore' opens at Roland Ross, 11.03.23 - 29.05.23Preview: 11.03.23 2-5pm Follow: @rolyrossTo discover more about the Recharge in Nature Project, visit bmw.co.uk/NationalParks"...Not really now, not anymore... For what does the phrase point to if not a fatal temporality? No now, not any more, not really. Does this mean that the present has eroded, disappeared - no now any more?Are we in the time of the always-already, where the future has been written; in which case it is not the future not really"p91, Mark Fisher "The Weird And The Eerie" 2016 Pub. Repeater Books, London, UKPlease join us for the opening of Not Now Not Anymore at 174-176 Hither Green Lane where Hannah Lees will present a series of new tablet works that combine beach combed objects with the elements of mica dust and rust converted iron powder, to create a kind of alchemy, embedded in plaster forms that are reminiscent of ancient artefacts. The works alternate between exploring circularity and linearity, at times following a process by which objects are permanently transformed and reactivated as painterly abstractions.Roland Ross | 174-176 Hither Green Lane, London SE13 6QBBy appointment only Fri-Sat 12-4pm Hosted on Acast.

Hannah Lees (National Parks x BMW Special Episode)

Nellie Neilson

Sara Yorke Stevenson

Elizabeth Head

March is Women’s History Month.  Dr. Nellie Neilson was one of the best – and best known – Medieval history scholars in the world, but she struggled to climb every rung to the top during her long career.  Sara Yorke Stevenson was a self-trained Egyptologist, a founder of the Penn Museum, a leader in women’s rights, and a popular newspaper columnist who gained respect from colleagues around the world – her story is told by fellow Laurel Hill Cemetery docent Pat Rose. Elizabeth Head Fetter, older sister to maverick inventor Howard Head, was writing under the pen name of Hannah Lees about topics like masturbation and women’s extra-marital affairs in the prudish 1940s, several years before the Kinsey Report was released. These three remarkable women shattered many glass ceilings in their long careers.  I hope you enjoy their stories.
