About Significant Other: Informed
by historical representations of Otherness and recent shifts that locate women
and people of color as central influencers of culture and politics, this series
reorients inherited expectations and makes room for these bodies to develop new
narratives.
Patrick Earl Hammie is an artist best known for his monumental portraits
related primarily to themes of identity, history, and narrative. He received
his BA from Coker College and his MFA in Painting from the University of
Connecticut. In 2008, he received the Alice C. Cole ’42 Fellowship through
Wellesley College, where he was an artist–in–residence for one year and
developed his project, Equivalent Exchange(2008–10).
In 2011, he was an artist in residence at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center.
His work is in several public collections including the Kohler Company, the
Kinsey Institute at Indiana University, and the William Benton Museum of Art.
He has received awards from the Tanne Foundation and Artist Alliance
Communities with the Joyce Foundation. Since completion, his recent project, Significant Other(2010–13), has traveled to venues that
include Greymatter Gallery (Milwaukee), and Porter Butts Gallery at the
University of Wisconsin–Madison. Reproductions of this series are scheduled to
appear this year in Harvard University’s Transition Magazine,
an international publication about race and culture with an emphasis on the
African Diaspora, edited by Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
