BILL HAMLIN is a photographer who lives and works in Provincetown, MA. He is known for his woven photographs, a technique that he developed while studying photography at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. His studies at that time, which included a double major in art history, were influenced by his fascination with Cubism and its theories. It was a combination of the two – the practical techniques of photography and the aesthetics of art which eventually led him to his own technique – the woven photograph. His series of woven images have encompassed an in-depth study of water, as well as the classic range of subjects including the landscape, still life and portraiture.Hamlin has also been working on a series of nighttime photographs capturing prototypical homes, gardens, and suburban neighborhoods in and around Provincetown, MA. The images, taken at a time when these places are generally unobserved, reflect his decision to follow his obsession with otherness and unknown worlds resulting in photographs of places that seem to stand in ready anticipation of our reciprocal obsession to observe and understand. His work is represented by The Schoolhouse Gallery in Provincetown, where he has exhibited since the gallery’s inception in 1998.
