Based on actual leaves gathered by the artist beginning in 2004, the leaves of Fallen have color inkjet prints on the front and back, as well as acrylic paint and gouache. The spread of the installation grows as soldiers die. Fallen was first exhibited at Galerie Lelong, New York, in 2005, and shortly after was acquired by the Whitney Museum of American Art. The first version of Fallen opened with 1,511 leaves; recent iterations have included more than 3,500. The exhibition at the Wexner Center will open with 3994 leaves.
Hammond, who is based in New York, has been featured in solo and group exhibitions across the country, and her work is in public collections around the world.
