Megan Hamilton. Artist. Photographer.

    Through a mix of multiple mediums, my practice allows me to externalize the internal, examine my grief and traumas and allow my unconscious free to create psychologically charged liminal spaces which explore life and death, preservation and decay, spirituality, ritual, found objects, memory, and performance. Traces and ghostly whispers echo throughout my use of materials. I explore realms of dreams, other worlds, the unseen, and the liminal, which function as a solace in working through trauma. The feeling of displacement evoked by these worlds becomes reminiscent of mental states of dissociation and living with grief. My art is transforming, perpetual processes of becoming, questioning, and crossing boundaries and patriarchal structures. I infuse my self and emotion into my art mutating the familiar into the uncanny, playing with the invisible, holding hands with the dead. Remembering to forget, forgetting to remember; letting go while holding on.
