ISSUES presents twenty-four works on paper by Henning Hamilton. The artworks are assemblages of pages from a disassembled children’s ABC book, found imagery, oil pastel, and pencil. Also in the gallery, a pavilion marquee is broken up, creating promenade along the works hung on the walls. Henning Hamilton has had two previous shows at ISSUES, both exhibiting sculptures made from debris washed ashore on Kalvö island in the Gothenburg archipelago. Now, Henning has re- located to the hilly woodland landscapes of Östergötland county, where driftwood and broken fishing equipment is hard to come by. Instead, the artist works with found remnants of an economy built on small industries. Rusty machinery and stolen pizza-signs appear in the studio Hamilton shares with Linda Pedersen. The new studio set-up has also enabled him to focus on two-dimensional work, carried out at a desk. Sensitivity and ingenuity saturate his sculptures. Equally abundant in his work on paper, ISSUES is pleased to add flowers, beautiful and lethal, to the bouquet of human behavior which is Henning’s art.
