Passes Between Us New paintings and prints
23 May – 25 June 2016,
OPEN Thursday & Friday 10 – 5, Saturday 11 – 3, & by appointment.
Tom Hammick’s new atmospheric landscape prints emerge from cut wood. His images are metaphors for the human condition; reflecting states of mind, transience, fragility and awe. He is inspired by the British Romantic tradition and Eastern culture.
“This image It is in part influenced by a 1950’s Japanese film and in part a picture about love so strong you ignore everything else. There is nothing in the world apart from those two figures. They are in a vortex of passion and love like Tristan und Isolde have for each other. Their passion detaches them from reality. Hence they are in their boat far off from anything else.”
