Ocean Terminal’s survey of personal, public, and live spaces testifies to the expansive, gestural painterly language that Hempton is known for. Encompassing ways of looking from the remote or digital to the up-close and immediate, the installation asks how we inhabit, disrupt, and are shaped by events and our surroundings.
