Mirabel Hammond

For Hammond, lockdown, self-isolation and the further steps of quarantine have presented the challenge of finding alternative ways to produce work – visualising new approaches and media with which to work. For many of us, the last few months have required creativity and an open mind, changing routines and seeking out ideas in unexpected places. Hammond has consistently used the time to explore and experiment with material, using the time at home to explore the purpose of vessels. She has considered the beauty of destruction and reconstruction, pushing the boundaries of decoration and utilising broken fragments of pattern to consider how they might fit back together. The idea is both conceptual and deeply tactile; material is used in groundbreaking ways – for purpose and repurpose.
