Yvette Hamilton is an Australian interdisciplinary artist and academic working on the unceded lands of the Dharug and Gundungurra people (Blue Mountains, NSW).
Exploring the unseen and the unphotographable, at a time when everything is seen and photographed, her practice sits at the edges of the photographic medium and explores the way that it shapes human vision. As an adopted person of Mauritian descent, her connection to culture is mostly absent - a galaxy of the unknowable and the distant. This central absence has led her practice to focus on the quest to see the unseen, to broach distance, explore the unknown and to materialise the invisible.
She is Associate Lecturer in Photography and Moving Image at UNSW Art and Design and a current PhD candidate at the University of Sydney. Yvette’s work has been shown in Australia and overseas in exhibitions at venues such as Pingyao International Festival of Photography, Lewisham Arthouse London, Perth Centre for Photography, Blue Mountains Cultural Centre, Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre, Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and Olsen Annexe Gallery, Sydney.
