Michelle Hamer is an Australian artist working based in Melbourne).[1] Her work is based on her own photographs of language within the environment. Hamer is primarily known for her hand-stitched tapestries on perforated plastic grids[2] but also creates ink works on paper and stitches through construction mesh.
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.
Hamer was awarded funding by the Australia Council in 2011 to undertake study in the USA.[3]
