How do we react to disparate images and objects put into synchrony with one another in the form of a painting or drawing? Hahne’s works explore this question by presenting a legend narrated through the blending of different classical forms that offer several possible outcomes for a story. Expanding on previous work, these images give the viewer hints of phantoms and moments, allowing the information to create a collection of meanings. In his work, Hahne uses the figure and the act of mark-making to consider the potential of symbolism to refer to thought and to the self.
