Katy Hammond

My current practice-based research examines the anthropocentric gaze and animal as ‘other’, applying the conventions of portraiture to non-human subjects to question the complex and often contradictory relationship humans have to other animals.  My work often utilises alternative processes with a current interest in the materiality of photography and sustainable working practices.
