Harmony Hammond
Hunkertime, 1979-1980
The stepped forms in this work "hunker" together, leaning on each other in a manner that suggests community and dialogue, which Hammond considers vital to feminist practice. When she first made this type of sculpture in the early 1970s, Hammond bound the wood frames with old clothes and rags she had gathered from friends. She notes: "It meant that I was literally putting all these women in the work." |
