Hatfull’s work reflects encounters in casual dining environments, forcefully repurposing scavenged motifs in stark compositions. The layers of gourmet food-to-go’s understated, yet overwhelming presence are sensitively opened out for interpretation, with far-reaching associations evoked. Working in machined relief sculpture, packaging design and silkscreens, Hatfull’s work transplants material from different graphic realms, both ubiquitous and esoteric.
