Hannah White is a textile artist based in Ngāmotu (New Plymouth). Formallytrained in Fashion Design, she has long been drawn to the tactile, expressivepossibilities of textiles.
Her current body of work is shaped by the shifting rhythms of the natural
world, particularly the coastline she has felt connected to since childhood.
The sea’s unpredictable tides, delicate ecosystems and subtle movements are
echoed in the intricate, fluid gestures of her contemporary embroidery.
More recently, the intimate details found in her own garden and nearby
parklands have become another source of inspiration, fleeting moments of
colour, texture and pattern that often go unnoticed. Guided by a commitment to
sustainability, Hannah works with vintage textiles and embroidery hoops, giving
new life to forgotten materials. Her practice balances the impermanence of
nature with a quiet intention to honour and preserve its essence.
The collection for In Clusters, this approach positions Hannah as an artist attuned to the small, shifting ecologies around her, contributing work that celebrates connection, observation and the
beauty found in close attention.

No cookie-cutter sparkle here, just beautiful, handcrafted jewellery made right here in Aotearoa. So before the hints start coming thick and fast (or the in-laws start asking questions), pop in for a chat.
This exhibition brings together a curated group of artists from across Aotearoa to explore the power of connection; within material, form, idea, and repetition. Each artist has created a cluster of works: a tightly curated grouping that reveals how individual pieces can speak with greater resonance when presented together.
