[3] Hamer is primarily known for the way she uses hand-stitching, language and photography (her own and found) [4] to bring attention to social issues in a clever and satirical way.
In particular, addressing ideas of intertopia, margins of error, interstitial and impermanent spaces represented through freeway signage and billboards.
Using this traditional technique, Hamer explores an ironic romanticism present between tapestry and the digitalisation of imagery in contemporary society.
In 2014 Hamer was part of the Artists in Residence program at the Australian Tapestry Workshop[10] where she was able to make yarns uniquely for her stitched works.
Alongside the exhibition, Hamer ran two programs which allowed the public to stitch with her, contributing to the making of a large series of pieces.
