Ant Hamlyn

BIOGRAPHY

Working across a pollination of hand made and digital fabrication processes, Ant Hamlyn’s works delve into our relationship and fluctuating enthusiasm towards contemporary life. His sculptures regularly have anthropomorphic elements and work with metaphor, illusion and the interplay between hard and soft to create moments of tactility and surprise through material and visual obscurity. Often creating relics from a recognizable yet parallel space. Hamlyn’s conceptual framework is recently influenced by botanicals, nostalgia, archiving and magic. With the exception of a number of larger kinetic installations, the majority of Hamlyn’s works are meticulously cut and sewn by hand in the studio. This delicate interplay between materiality, scale and context are intrinsic to the simultaneous creation of mystery, familiarity and deception.
