Garden in a Time of Loss I

Tom Hammick’s Garden in a Time of Loss editions have been created through layers of reduction woodcut printing to achieve the beautiful array of flora. Building on a longstanding interest in ecology, Hammick describes: “Here a small individual action of growing flowers in a field can affect positive change, negate some of the doom and gloom most of us feel, and I hope in some small way acts as an image that defies a universal feeling of dread and despair at the state we’re in. Here a small individual action of growing flowers in a field can affect positive change. The plants cannot be identified specifically as examples of flora we come across in everyday life. But I hope their strangeness connects to what might be conjured out of the primordial soup that feeds life.”
