JEFFREY HAMPSHIRE
Jeffery Hampshire, a Utah-based artist was born and raised in Sandy, Utah, where he still works today. He was first introduced to art through an after-school program called Visual Arts Institute or VAI for short, located in Salt Lake where he works as an art instructor. He recently graduated with a BFA from Brigham Young University in April of 2021. Hampshire has been involved with many group collaborations, some of which have shown at BYU, U of U, personal venues, and other locations within Utah. His most recent work deals with his heritage and memory of the place. He is interested in exploring his roots, to appreciate his influences, and to better recognize how he can have an impact on his community. His work will reference home, neighborhoods, and community as well as associated memory. He interacts with themes of place and memory, frequently using VR and AR programs like google earth. Often his process includes documenting experiences in both physical and virtual venues then translating those experiences into sculpture and prints creating objects that reference a location or time.
