Ladder 1981

Harmony Hammond's 1981 painting "Ladder" is a minimalist composition with a bold, graphic style. The artwork features a central, upright ladder-like form rendered in a vibrant pink against a black background punctuated with yellow dashes. The simple geometric shapes and contrasting colors create a powerful visual impact, suggesting a sense of structure and ascent. "Ladder" is a prime example of Hammond's use of abstract forms to explore themes of identity, sexuality, and the body.
