Jane Hammond: Paper Work (Paperback) This catalogue focuses on works on paper by contemporary artist Jane Hammond, who garnered a reputation in the art world as a painter in New York in the 1990s. Through the interplay of text and recycled images, Hammond has produced a series of fresh, compelling, and provocative pieces. Most recently, Hammond has launched an exploratory journey into the realms of memory and communication, evoking mass media and scientific concepts while infusing her colorful works with a sense of youthful wonder. The catalogue's sixty-four featured works show the diversity of her oeuvre. These pieces, though paper-based, are rarely confined to two dimensions or to a small scale. They combine mixed-media collage, text, and a series of symbols that create a visual vocabulary found throughout her work. This exhibit is a testament to Hammond's scope of imagery, depth of symbolism, and willingness to expand the boundaries of artistic creation. Currently Jane Hammond has an exhibition on display at the Wexner Center entitled Fallen. If you would like more information on that exhibition: Click Here! Member price: $31.50 |
