We are delighted to greet the arrival of spring at the gallery with this show of new works by American artist, Jane Hammond. Vibrant, eclectic, and thoughtful – Hammond’s work defies easy categorisation. Her botanical collages are all built from disparate found imagery, ranging from photographs and academic illustrations to wallpaper
and handmade drawings. They offer a wonderful example of how Hammond is so deftly able to bring together a myriad of unrelated and often unlikely elements into a single, harmonious, composition.
This show is the culmination of a particularly intense period for Hammond, during which she worked specifically on the botanical collages with great enthusiasm and focus. The resulting exhibition is
bold, vibrant, and alive – like the flowers themselves.
