In her recent work, Allison Janae Hamilton (b. 1984; born in Kentucky and raised in Florida) examines legends about the South being a rich, fertile landscape primed for cultivation, and the way in which brutal colonization of land and people have molded contemporary beliefs and current realities. Hamilton weaves these personal narratives together with pressing contemporary issues, through photographs that combines the lush landscapes shot in rural Northern Florida with the complex lived experiences of its inhabitants, and sculptural works that evoke a land that is simultaneously idyllic, fragile, and haunted by its own history. In these works, the artist imbeds friends, family, and herself as actors against the backdrop of Northern Florida, bringing together elements of landscape and portrait photography. Adorning her subjects with objects gathered from the environment and combining them with both timeless and contemporary symbolic gestures, Hamilton creates narrative portraits of the actors who are inextricably linked to and disruptors of an environment that collapses history, present, and future.
