Hannah Kidd has risen to national prominence and international award

through developing a body of representational sculpture whose hallmarks are

broad and significant. Kidd’s works are compellingly accurate, imbued with

life-spirit and individual character.

Kidd clads her works with recycled corrugated iron. The works contain a rural

vernacular that is built from acute observation and understanding. Dogs on

the NZ farm are of course as significant and fundamental as the water supply.

They are the ubiquitous tool used to work stock and with each dog there are

distinguishing subtleties and differences in behaviour, presence and the role

undertaken. Kidd reveals this in her acclaimed characteristic and incisive

manner.

HANNAH KIDD b. 1979, lives Franz Joseph

Domestic Bliss (Pair) (2011)

Franz Josef based sculptor Hannah Kidd predominantly crafts and welds sculptural creations

from steel rod and corrugated iron as a means to investigate people and the relationships they

have with their surrounding environment. “Kidd’s works remind us we are New Zealanders and

explore our relationships with each other and our environments”. (1)

Kidd’s subject matter has focused on witty and often comical animal studies which she has used

as a vehicle to discuss the human condition.

“Kidd’s works are covered with flat tin, spot-welded, and remarkably detailed, notwithstanding

their clear origins in bits of roofing iron. She will take on any living subject, from humans to horses.”

(2) Hannah Kidd has quickly risen to critical acclaim and her distinctive and unique work has been

exhibited around the world, from Australia to Denmark including “I’m sure I’ve seen that before”,

Vienna, Austria (2002), Sculpture By the Sea, Sydney (2007) Sculpture By the Sea, Denmark (2009)

& (2011), Sculpture By the Sea, Perth (2009) along with numerous group and solo exhibitions

throughout New Zealand. Hannah Kidd graduated in 2001 from the Otago Polytechnic School

of Art with a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in sculpture. In 2010 she was the Winner of the

Montalto Sculpture Award, Australia and the People’s Choice Award at NZ Sculpture On Shore.
