Tasmanian sculptor and educator David Hamilton’s practice is a conversation between material and maker, an exchange that draws on the deep traditions of sculpture while pushing the boundaries of contemporary form.
Spanning sculpture, installation, drawing and digital media, Hamilton’s work moves from intimate, small-scale objects to monumental public commissions. Fragments and Artefacts is the culmination of over forty years of practice. Through the works in the exhibition, fragments become vast; ancient weapons reappear as contemporary artefacts; and springs and knots seem to rise from the earth.
