Jane Hammond is an alchemist. Since 1988 she has worked with a collection of 276 images. She transforms the images of this lexicon to create magical new ones in the form of paintings, drawings and prints. Hammond compiled her collection of images from a wide variety of sources, including manuals, children’s books, books on magic and puppetry, medical journals, technical illustrations, matchbook covers, labels, charts and maps.
Hammond's first print at Shark’s Ink., was a lithograph with collage, titled “My Heavens!” In 2005 Hammond made a new lithograph, “Love Laughs”., about language, culture and signs. Her most recent print is a three-dimensional lithograph titled “Spells and Incantations”.
