Bundanon

Yvette Hamilton is an Australian interdisciplinary artist of Mauritian descent 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 focuses 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 the University of New South Wales and is a current practice-led PhD candidate at the University of Sydney. Yvette’s work has been shown in Australia and overseas in exhibitions over the past ten years.

In Residence at Bundanon

My plan for a residency at Bundanon is to build the foundation of a new path in my practice and to commence planning and work for a new body of work that will be exhibited in late 2024 and 2025. The creative rationale for the project is to expand outwards from my existing frameworks into new conceptual and material territories, and I will use the physical shift away from the demands of the everyday, to aid in a conceptual and material shift.
