Biography
Damon Hamm is a multidisciplinary sculptor whose work focuses on scientific principals, transformations, and relationships.
Working primarily in metal and wood, his work accentuates the natural texture, light, shadow, and reflection of the materials, resulting in forms that evoke a visceral sense of captured motion or temporal progression as if every stage of the object’s evolution is visible at once. Hamm investigates the tension between objects, people, and their surroundings to create conversations about interrelationship, the passing of time, and the ultimate triumph of entropy over our human existence.
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Damon has been a videographer for RollingStone, documentarian, robotics researcher for NASA projects, and user experience designer for Fortune 100 companies. He now works as an educator and serves on the Board of Directors for the Sculptors Guild of New York.
Damon received a BFA from Oberlin College and MS from Carnegie Mellon University. Damon’s sculptures have been installed in public parks in New York City, Chicago Illinois, Dubuque Iowa, and Key West Florida, broadcast on PBS and NY1, and featured in New York Magazine, New York Daily News, Gothamist, Time Out New York, Telegraph Herald, and The Key West Citizen. Smaller works appear in two feature length movies and private collections across Arizona, Louisiana, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Washington.
Additional accolades include research grants from Carnegie Mellon University, fellowship with the Art Students League of New York, and a U.S. Patent for a mobile computer vision system.
Damon also consults as a User Experience Design Director and provides Digital Art Services.
