Summary
  • Artist Jane Hammond talks about the circumstances and thinking that led her from sculpture to painting and then to develop her unique lexicon of 276 symbols, which allows her to maintain continuity in her work without sacrificing the freedom to explore a variety of styles, techniques and ideas. After showing samples of earlier work built around this lexicon, the speaker devotes considerable time to a body of work done in collaboration with the poet, John Ashbery. Hammond closes with some examples of her work in creating fiction from fact by merging images in photographs which she has collected
  • Jane Hammond discusses her development as a painter since receiving an MFA in sculpture in 1977. She explains her early approaches to painting, how conceptualist and minimalist biases have shaped her work, and her tendency to work mainly from found information, creating fiction from fact through combination and juxtaposition. Hammond goes on to discuss her collaboration with poet John Ashbery, who made titles that Hammond then used as "armatures" for a large group of paintings
