About the Work
"Interesting
to
see
the
humble
beginnings
of
what
would
be
a
tour
de
force
in
the
New
Zealand
art
scene
throughout
the
80’s,
90’s
and
beyond.
This
is
a
fine
early
example
of
what
was
to
come
in
the
strange
perspectives,
anthropomorphic
characters
and
wry
humour
featured
throughout
many
of
Hammond’s
works."
