IFPDA | Jane Hammond
26th - 29th October 2023 -
Lyndsey Ingram is pleased to present a solo presentation of new botanical collages by American artist Jane Hammond on Booth 115 at The IFPDA Print Fair, October 26th - 28th, 2023.
Hammond collects visual materials for her collages from a vast myriad of sources including books on horticulture, images found online, her own photographs, textile designs, historical botanical illustration and hand-printed woodcut elements. She describes how, from an early age, her grandmother encouraged her to memorise the Latin names of 100 flowers that grew in the family garden. This early interest in horticulture is at the heart of her current body of work - complex and vibrant collaged arrangements of flora and fauna in fantastical combinations that would never exist in nature.
Hammond plays with the scale of her carefully chosen flowers, insects and animals - enlarging bugs and shrinking flowers, lending the works a surreal quality. Each collage is carefully arranged and the elements are either driven by their visual character or a specific narrative.
The artist's interest in ceramics is evident in her inclusion of unusual vessels that hold her arrangments. The breadth of her source material can be seen in her wide range of vases, from ancient and ritualistic pots to gleaming champagne buckets. -
