"Space and scale are important considerations in Collins’s work - the space created by the piece, the space it occupies physically and how it relates to the space in which it hangs. The human figure is deliberately absent in much of her work. “The human figure would fix the overall scale of the image and would fix your relationship with the image. I want one to be able to move into the image.”"

"The enterprise Hannah Collins has undertaken is ethical - in that she is dealing with our present - and modest at the same time, since the language she develops is in no way closed in on itself but rather an open infinity of virtualities."

I am not really sure what I think of Collins' work since I have not been able to find much online about her work. I really like that her photographs are black and white and think that they add to the feeling of "old world", the past, and devastation that I think she is trying to portray. I have found what I think is a book entitled "Conversations with Photographers: John Baldessari, Hannah Collins, Axel Hutte, Gonzalo Puch, Wolfgang Tillmans, Jeff Wall" and as soon as I can get my hands on the book I will be adding to this blog.
