Justin Hammond uses his art as a vessel for his stories. His work channels surreal moments as a child discovering remnants of a neighborhood washed away by a flood and the wildlife that consumed it. It became a playground for the imagination, of which, for the last decade, he has sought to recapture the essence. The landscapes he crafts inhabit troubled and knowledge-hungry figures born from trees loomed in the obscurity of their origins. Justin is fascinated with the image of memories crystallizing into a physically obtainable source and existing as a form of treasure to the figures within the hexagonal landscapes.
Justin’s work is primarily made using charcoal pencils, wood scraps, corn husk and clay.
