Hanna Sheehan is a mixed media artist whose work explores disability, perception, memory and identity. Their work ranges from photographic explorations of perception, re-evaluation of their access tools as modalities for viewership, and concepts of archives as physical embodied memory.
They have recently shown work at Tangled Art+Disability in Toronto Canada and are currently participating in Socially Distant Art; an access oriented fellowship designed to help creators center accessibility in their creative practices.
They are also an active arts worker and have been professionally working as an archivist while they pursue a career in archives and libraries. They are currently working towards a Masters degree in Information and Library Science at Pratt School of Information.
