Hannah Gason at Canberra Centre
Twelve Hours of Daylight, 2023
shown at Canberra Centre during Floriade 2023
September to October 2023
Hannah Gason’s Twelve Hours of Daylight is a celebration of colour and flowers transformed into an extraordinary masterpiece shown in the Canberra Centre as part of Floriade 2023.
Inspired by landscapes and the floral displays of Floriade, the sculptures feature transparent and opaque glass, fused together to create layers, lines and edges. Through an interplay of glass and light, the artworks appearance dynmically changes depending on the time of day and availability of light.
“Whether reflecting the delicate petals of a flower or the vibrant hues of a rainbow, each artwork in this exhibition tells a unique story of the profound connection between colours, flowers, and the magical world of glass and light.”
– Hannah Gason, artist
