Kara Hamilton examines the agency of material across a variety of media including sculpture, drawing, and wearable design. With a formal background in visual art, design, and architecture, Hamilton’s works create a nexus at the intersection of these disciplines, decontextualizing materials and forms in order to create new spatial narratives. Curtain Wall accomplishes this by simultaneously obscuring an otherwise undisrupted view and inviting viewers to peer through it, while its eye-shaped apertures seem to return the viewers’ gaze. For large scale sculptural works like this, Hamilton often engages materials locally sourced or produced in proximity to the exhibition locale, creating an intrinsic relationship between sculpture and site.
