OTHER NOTES:
Bill Hammond's printmaking practice echoes the same ecological anxieties and surreal imagery that define his paintings. His prints often depict bird-human hybrids, rendered in meticulous line work that highlights his technical skill. These prints carry a haunting quality, reflecting Hammond's preoccupation with New Zealand's pre-human landscapes and the fragility of its native species. By translating his signature motifs into prints, Hammond expanded his visual language, creating intimate works that speak to the broader environmental and colonial histories of Aotearoa.
