Hannah Wilson’s Never Cursed at Moosey is an exploration of optimism battling a deep-seated sense of failure, a concept not unheard of in their previous works but confronted here with newfound vigor. I can’t help but feel, in the face of the American elections (although of course this show is in the UK, but it permeates), the art economy and the general feeling of malaise that seems to have cast a shadow over so many in 2024, optimsim versus failure is a powerful resolve to showcase in your art. And Hannah has done this. This collection embodies the relentless pursuit of progress and the determination to forge ahead even when destiny appears to conspire against you. —Evan Pricco
