Garden Mask III
Allison Janae Hamilton is a contemporary artist who works across sculpture, installation, film, and photography. Hamilton often employs found objects, plants, and discarded metals to create immersive spaces that explore historical and contemporary ideas of America, and how identity and social relationships evolve in the wake of changing climates, both cultural and environmental.
In 2023, artist Allison Janae Hamilton unveiled Garden Mask III, a sculptural piece crafted from a vintage fencing mask, upholstery, wooden flowers, dye, and resin. This work continues Hamilton's exploration of the interplay between human identity and the natural world, transforming protective gear into a canvas that merges artificial and organic elements. Garden Mask III exemplifies her practice of recontextualizing found objects to comment on the relationship between nature and culture.
