Throughout her practice, Allison Janae Hamilton (b. 1984, Lexington, KY) draws on her upbringing in the rural American South, weaving themes of environmental justice, folklore, and mythology into sculpture, photography, painting, and film.

Layering plant matter, landscape and figurative imagery, complex sounds, and animal remains throughout her work, Hamilton creates immersive spaces that consider notions of “Americana” and our relationships to land in the face of a changing climate, particularly in the rural American South.
