Megan Hamilton is an interdisciplinary artist currently living in Tkaronto who recently completed her MFA in Interdisciplinary Art, Media and Design at OCADU. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Alberta University of the Arts on Treaty 7 territory. Her practice incorporates a variety of mediums such as photography, video, found object, painting, and silkscreen, to explore death, grief, liminal spaces, identity and memory. Processes of manipulation/mutation reoccur to create other-worldly places of the uncanny and unseen, embedded with emotional residue. Wandering through the cemetery, creating portals to the other side, a practice informed by ritual, art becomes a method of working through the effects of trauma and mental illness. Megan has shown work in an array of exhibitions including at Ignite Gallery, The Marion Nicoll Gallery, and Contemporary Calgary. She was awarded the TREX Emerging Photographer of the Year Award and the Magenta Foundation Emerging Photographer Award in 2023.
