Jefferson Hayman | Strawberry Patch | Box

Jefferson Hayman is an artist whose work explores the themes of nostalgia, common symbols, and memory. Through a quiet minimalism, he invites the viewer to partake in the narrative process in a way that is both intimate and deeply personal.

Drawing from his education in the fine arts and his training in the art of frame-making, Hayman approaches his work with a deep understanding of traditional craftsmanship and a sense of artistic heritage whilst remaining tied to the present through the timelessness of aesthetic simplicity. Through an understated language of visual symbols and meditative studies, Hayman's work manifests as a visual journal chronicling transformation, discovery, and solitude, boldly stripped of the extraneous.

Each box is built and finished by hand, revealing Hayman’s deep sensitivity to materials and the language of early photography. The exterior carries a layered painted surface with intentional wear, echoing the charm of well-loved objects. Inside, the photograph is meticulously matted and framed within a miniature handcrafted frame, creating a jewel-like presentation. The contrast between the raw character of the box and the refinement of the image is central to Hayman’s process—an interplay of texture, history, and quiet precision.
