Tyler Eash

Tyler Eash approaches art in a post-disciplinary manner, integrating performance, sculpture, drawing, painting, film, music, and poetry to explore and embody different modes of existence. Their practice blurs the lines between confession, fact, and fiction, merging these elements into a constellation of visual artifacts, texts, and performative events. Responding to the erasure of personal history, ancestral culture, and identity, Eash engages with the concept of selfhood as a medium, using imagination as a site of autonomy and resilience. Eash’s work positions the body as both a document and a vessel, functioning as an avatar that negotiates the desires of a post-capitalist, post-colonial, and post-gender identity. Through this approach, they establish a dialogue between their queer, rural, Indigenous American and Irish heritage and the structures of Anglo-colonial “high culture.” Each creation becomes a bridge between personal and collective histories, using the material and immaterial to investigate the intersections of identity, sovereignty, and cultural memory, while asserting a profound reclamation of space, narrative, and self-expression. ...
