surrounds of her large-scale multimedia installations. Noted for a dense

sites. Born in Lima, Ohio in 1956, Hamilton received a BFA in textile design from
the University of Kansas in 1979 and an MFA in Sculpture from the Yale University
School of Art in 1985. Among her many honors, she has been a recipient of the
Heinz Award, MacArthur Fellowship, Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship, NEA
Visual Arts Fellowship, United States Artists Fellowship and was chosen to
represent the United States at the 48th Venice Biennale. In 1992, she established
her home and practice in Columbus, Ohio. Presently, she is a Professor of Art at
The Ohio State University. Recent installations include corpus at Mass MoCA,
meditation boat in Laos, Human/Nature: Artists Respond to a Changing Planet at
