Hamptons-based artist Phyllis Baker Hammond’s career has spanned seven decades. She started her professional career sculpting in clay, but in recent years has worked in metal, creating abstract works that can be displayed in the home or outside. In 2017, five of her large-scale works were created for a feature installation in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza in New York City. In addition, Hammond won an award for her work in creating a dazzling orange enameled 10-foot steel sculpture in Japan's Ube Tokiwa Museum's International Biennale sculpture competition. The "Museum of Greenery, Flowers and Sculpture Prize" was presented in Ube in October 2009, for Hammond’s Redefining Space.
Hammond uses an improvisational method to create her colorful sculptures from sheets of metal that are later bent, hammered and then powder-coated in brightly colored paint (From Osilas Gallery)
Hammond’ sculpture Maze 1 (2011) is located on the east side of the north wall of Esther Lloyd Jones Hall.
