This Dunedin Public Art Galley's catolgue of Bill Hammonds 1999 exhibition. Included are essays by four noted New Zealand art critics who cast  appreciative eyes over the 23 Big Pictures.

Hammonds work is not for those with a queasy stomach. His work is, paradoxically, both gruesome and ordered, almost courtly. Neither does Hammond explain himself or his art. It it up to the viewer! This is New Zealand's Art Funk.
