Allison Janae Hamilton

Allison Janae Hamilton (born 1984) is a contemporary American artist who works in sculpture, installation, photography and film.

[1] Hamilton's relationship with the locations of her upbringing and family roots forms the cornerstone of her artwork, as particularly seen in her engagement with the landscapes of Northern Florida and Western Tennessee.

[2] Hamilton is known as an interdisciplinary artist, whose artwork ranges from immersive multi-channel film installations, monumental outdoor sculpture, and environmental portraits.

Hamilton refers to landscape as the "central protagonist" in her work, rather than a backdrop, and through the blending of land-centered folklore and personal family narratives, she engages haunting yet epic mythologies that address the social and political concerns of today's changing terrain.

In 2023, Hamilton's work was included in the Spirit in the Land traveling exhibition and publication, organized by the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University.
