​    Inga Hamilton 

As a maker, Inga's critical thinking and wide understanding of tools and materials enables her to explore how makers of all species make.

​

Through the use of readily-dismissed, low-value natural materials, such as seaweed and salt, Hamilton produces desirable, high-value, wearable adornment. By instigating comparative discussion around her work with that of nonhuman-animal makers employing the same materials and techniques as herself, such as decorator crabs, birds or dolphins, she challenges the viewer’s concepts of value and adornment within the natural world.

​

Inga's wearable art works spark debate and bring about a wider consideration of  similarities and differences of all species. Her PhD is leading her to work with transdisciplinary scientific, cultural and artistic fields, synthesizing knowledge into a non-speciesist understanding of making.
