APRIL HAMMOCK

April Hammock's work consists of acrylic paintings focusing on form and spaces intertwining, breaking apart, and building. The work is influenced by both metaphysics and a perceived ambiguity between exterior and interior spaces.

“What is undetermined versus something that is a readily identifiable object in space. Space, an integral component, a missing piece within a vast equation of time and continuity. The mystery of what appears in contrast to what it is in actuality. Frequencies, polarities, variables pulling together, colliding into a fantastic frenzy, finding order and rhythm to every pulse.
Warmth, light and breadth of the living strive to strike some level of harmony with the slow dance of death; the finest hour, effervescently shifting through memories and moments in time.” - Hammock
