Escape Into Life

These paintings often focused on the clash of my two cultures- East and West.

A series of my paintings is based on dreams that I had as a child of many many jellyfish floating in the sky, some of which fell to the ground on parachures and became mushrooms.

Hancock’s prints, drawings, and collaged felt paintings work together to tell the story of the Mounds—a group of mythical creatures that are the tragic protagonists of the artist’s unfolding narrative.

After leaving home I told myself I would make it as a painter or die trying.
