"Hancock’s art and design – to him they’re inseparable – is built from the layering and recontextualising of everyday objects that the rest of us would either ignore or appreciate but not collect and obsess over. His work is a distinctive collage of fabrics, printing, drawing, painting and found objects. And while he is as at home on his laptop as he is with canvas, all his work maintains a tactile and homespun feel..."
Hancock also began the artist-run Space3 with two friends in 2000. "It became very well known as a place for artists, musicians and creatives to have the opportunity to collaborate and exhibit their work in a very free environment..." The history and events of Space3 have now been put in a book by Hancock.
