Jane Hammond

Throughout her career, Jane Hammond has made works on paper, sculpture, prints, and paintings, often including elements of collage when working in any medium. The works on view at MCA Denver represented Hammond‘s varied interests in figurative subject matter. Each work was a composite of found images that were collaged into over-lapping storylines. In Hammond’s photographs, worlds collide. Her working methodology is systematic, culling archives of found photographic ephemera to create surrealistic points of intrigue. 

Jane Hammond was born in 1950 in Bridgeport, Connecticut. She received a BA from Mount Holyoke College, Massachusetts and an MFA from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Her work has been shown at the Achenbach Foundation at the DeYoung Museum, San Francisco; Detroit Institute of Art; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and Galerie Lelong, Zurich. Hammond was the recipient of the Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant Award in 2000. She lives and works in New York.
