Instead of transferring images from a printing press or wood or linoleum blocks onto paper, Hammons frequently uses his own body to print on paper or board, or on some other flat surface. This entails greasing his own body with heavy oil, like motor oil, and pressing it against a surface to create an image. The result is a very real, emotionally stirring work, with a very direct message. Hammons continues to use objects from African American life both in large "installations" (works with many parts), and in other smaller works, transforming how we see them by placing them in new contexts. In doing so, he expands our definitions of artistic media.
