SELF-PORTRAIT (DREAMER)
Guildford House Open
22 Nov 2025 - 28 Feb 2026

When I create, I disappear into another world. My surroundings cease to exist, yet my senses are heightened, connecting my physical being to an intangible realm. By combining traditional and digital media, this self portrait represents these two worlds, part of an ongoing investigation into how we express our external and internal selves in multiple realities.

Self-Portrait (Dreamer) was created for People of Tezos, a project to document artists making a contribution to the Tezos blockchain. Each artist was invited to create a digital self-portrait, which was minted with a short biography as an immutable record of their role in the community.

This animation consists of 110 portraits, each hand drawn in charcoal under a rostrum camera, then erased to make the next frame. The images were sequenced and manipulated using digital techniques developed over several years.

The return to Maggi Hambling. After a couple of years, I'm back and it feels like home.

Here, I can move beyond the logistics of daily life. Here, I consider presence and absence, how we move through time and space, how we build a relationship with the world we inhabit.

Thank you Maggi, thank you Maggi's mob 🙏

17 #artists - 1 #artnude - 360° of creative possibility

Last Friday's workshop at @brightonanimation (BIAF) was magical – visual storytellers with #fineart and #filmmaking backgrounds gathered to draw, discover movement and bring their work to life through animation.

Every drawing told its own story. Every #animation reflected a unique creative voice. That's what happens when you create space for #creatives and #makers to experiment together.

Four years partnering with #BIAF and still discovering new possibilities.
