Hamer’s largest works explore barriers and boundaries with physical materials often associated with such physical zones. Love Knows All Barriers is stitched through orange construction mesh using barricade tape. You Are My Past uses ‘Caution do not enter’ tape. ‘I am your future’ stitched on the reverse side uses ‘Danger’ barricade tape.
