Jane Hammond Description

Jane Hammond (b. 1950) is an alchemist. Since 1988 she has worked with a collection of 276 images. She transforms the images of this lexicon to create magical new ones in the form of paintings, drawings and prints.

Hammond's work is composed of myriad layers of media, ideas and associations. The process of piecing together an image is a meditative exercise for Hammond, having "more to do with duration than texture. I see it as a function of time, like the idea of chanting."

Hammond compiled her collection of images from a wide variety of sources, including manuals, children’s books, books on magic and puppetry, medical journals, technical illustrations, matchbook covers, labels, charts and maps.
