HANG ON:

May 12 - June 1 and June 21 - August 4, 2012

Hamill Gallery is partly an art gallery, partly an educational resource, partly a Cabinet of Curiosities and partly a demonstration of the consequences of allowing one's hobby to become an obsession.  The HANG ON show was conceived as a distillation of those characteristics; a juxtaposition of interesting elements ... many of which (in this case) happen to be suspended from the ceiling.

Images of the installation as well as individual objects of tribal art can be found below.
