Alexandra Hammond
My multidisciplinary practice spans painting, installation and conversational performances. I believe that all beings, objects and Earth inter-are and inter-be. We can conceptualize this interbeing as an all-encompassing background that is also the foreground. My work trains our awareness to this background - that which is sometimes invisible or ignored, but is the field from which everything arises. This background manifests as landscape, the quality of transparency, underlying story, or the emotional experiences of the body. I employ the specificity of images and manners as an invitation into an awareness of the undifferentiated - pure consciousness, endless possibility, blue sky.

A being traversing the surface of the Möbius Strip travels on the surface and the underside of the strip, yet the moment of transition from one side to the other is impossible to determine. It is always happening: inside is outside, top is bottom. The figure becomes a frame for all-encompassing spaciousness at the center of the wheel, the sweet spot of perpetual motion. The egg is a symbol of possibility. 11×14″
