Yvette Hamilton is an Australian interdisciplinary artist working on Dharug and Gundungurra lands (Blue Mountains, NSW). The central focus of her practice is light and darkness and the associated states of knowing and not-knowing. Her works aim to engage viewers into a participatory exploration of vision by presenting things that are not what they seem. Working across expanded photography, installation, drawing and interactivity her works explore the unseen and the unphotographable, at a time when everything is seen and photographed.

She is Associate Lecturer in Photography and Moving Image at the University of New South Wales, a current PhD candidate at the University of Sydney and gained her Master of Fine Arts (Research) at Sydney College of the Arts. Her work has been shown in Australia and overseas in exhibitions at venues such as Pingyao International Festival of Photography, Lewisham Arthouse London, Perth Centre for Photography, Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre, Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and Olsen Annexe, Sydney. She has been a finalist in the Josephine Ulrick & Winn Schubert Award, the Paramor Prize, the Fishers Ghost Art Prize, the Meroogal Women’s Art Prize, the Grace Cossington Smith Award, the Iris Award and was the winner of the Sydney College of the Arts winner of the Dominik Mersch Gallery Award and a recipient of an Australia Council Artstart grant.
