Notes:A NOTE FROM WARWICK BROWN: This was purchased from Hammond's first show in Auckland. It caused a sensation as no one had ever seen anything remotely similar to Hammond's bizarre imagery. I was disturbed by the show but later believed I should have bought a larger painting. Being timid, I bought this one. Later, in 1988, I purchased a really serious work 'Slow Game Good Game' from Peter McLeavey.
