Hannah Bhatt
Hannah Bhatt is an artist and the founder of Uncanny Valley Studios. Working primarily with stoneware clay, she creates figures, vessels, and immersive installations that sit in the in-between, where beauty meets discomfort, and tenderness holds weight.
Her work draws from memory, loss, motherhood, and the quiet inheritances passed between women. Flowers emerge from faces, bodies blur into creatures, and forms hover between protection and exposure. These works do not explain, they listen.
Uncanny Valley Studios is both a studio and a philosophy: a space for slow making, intuition, and emotional honesty. Hannah’s practice invites reflection, touch, and recognition, asking not for understanding, but for presence.
Based in Malaysia, her work is an ongoing act of making room.
