Hannah Lees constructs sculptures out of second-hand
materials, which vary from driftwood to fake diamonds. She
uses a complex language of materials to create hybrid ready- mades.
In the work Three wishes, the materials are carefully selected to resemble a maquette of a lakeside landscape. The dichotomy between the materials and the Romantic imagery in the work raises many issues relating to the failed picturesque, kitsch materiality, and
aesthetics.
