Lea Hamilton's materially driven practice investigates the boundaries of her role as mediator between materials and circumstance. Working in painting, printmaking, and sculpture, she is concerned with materiality, process, and the ideas of agency and control. Working with and through her materials, her work often explores themes of presence, absence, and the passage of time.
Lea Hamilton (b. 1992) is a Canadian artist living in Ottawa, Ontario. She is currently an MFA candidate at the University of Ottawa, where she received her BFA in 2014.. She is a member of Common Ground Collective, and the Ottawa-Gatineau Printmakers Connective.
