Flax, Wax and Print artworks made by Yvonne Hammond

Yvonne Hammond
“I am a lifelong artist. Creating is my lifestyle and life’s meditation. All my life I have been motivated to crochet, sew, draw, print, paint… The pleasure of the creative process is what brings me alive.”

Artist Statement
Yvonne’s materials and processes are varied and unpredictable. The results of tactile textures, smooth surfaces and inter-woven visual connections create a diverse body of work.
Whilst Yvonne is creating with fabrics, fibre, mark-making and colour she is drawing on a lifetime of skills and referencing a varied and adventuresome life.

Flax, wax & print Artworks
A flax weaver for more than 30 years, Yvonne creates wild and wonderful contemporary artworks.
Yvonne utilises various techniques of print making; mono, relief/collargraph, screen print, intaglio and etching.
The encaustic wax medium intrigues her by its translucency and its surprising diversity of outcomes when applied to different materials.
