Ant Hamlyn’s innovative acrylic-pressed textile plant sculptures: a claustrophobic yet captivating artistic journey

Ant Hamlyn is a contemporary artist whose work explores the dichotomies and paradoxes of life through the medium of sculpture. His recent exhibitions, such as “Tread Softly” and “Love, Death & Velvet,” showcase his unique approach to botanical sculptures, where he presses fabric flowers under acrylic sheets, creating a striking visual commentary on preservation and destruction. These pieces are not only visually appealing but also carry a deeper meaning, questioning the relationship between humans and nature, life and death, and the transient beauty of flowers.

Hamlyn’s work is a labor of love, with each piece meticulously planned, hand-stitched, and engineered to capture a moment in time, reflecting on themes of memory, nostalgia, and the passage of time in our fast-paced world. His exhibitions have been well-received and continue to invite viewers to ponder the delicate balance between preserving a moment and the inevitable march of time.
