David Hamilton: Fragments and Artefacts

A bronze cast of a boat with limpets in the boat and a city attached to the hull underneath.
For over four decades, Tasmanian artist David Hamilton has shaped an extraordinary career as a sculptor and educator. His creative practice is a conversation between material and maker, an exchange that draws on the deep traditions of sculpture while pushing the boundaries of contemporary form. Spanning sculpture, installation, drawing and digital media, Hamilton's work moves from intimate, small-scale objects to monumental public commissions. He specialises in metal casting and also works in steel and wood – often in combination – to create striking, technically accomplished works. Under his hand, fragments become vast; springs and knots seem to rise from the earth; ancient weapons reappear as contemporary artefacts. Hamilton's work is not only visually powerful but often politically charged, engaging with themes of environmental loss and the destruction of Tasmania's old-growth forests.
