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 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.
