Harmony Hammond Lecture

I found the lecture by Harmony Hammond very fascinating. I enjoyed seeing the variety of methods and forms which she uses in her abstract artwork. I liked the fact that she used such a wide variety of materials, many of which were things she had found that others had thrown away considering them to be trash. In her case, it is certainly true that “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” or canvas. I was particularly attracted to the braided rugs. I found her description of them, as flat fabric floor paintings and sculptors, to be very intriguing. Additionally, I thought they were very beautiful and enjoyed their differing patterns.
