Australian based visual artist Michelle Hamer uses hand-stitched tapestries on perforated plastic canvas as a way to explore the small in-between moments of apparent ‘nothingness’ that permeate everyday life.

Style

Informed by her background in architecture, the work focuses on signage within urban landscapes. In particular addressing ideas of intertopia; margins of error; interstitial and impermanent spaces as represented through freeway signage and billboards.

Through tapestry she explores everyday limitations - capturing small intense sped-up moments. Using this traditional technique Hamer explores an ironic romanticism present between tapestry and the digitalisation of imagery in contemporary society.
