Tyler Eash, 1988, Táisidam/Marysville, Turtle Island/USA, is a Maidu 2-Spirit artist, poet, performer, and curator with Modoc and Irish descent. As a queer artist of both Indigenous “american” and European heritage, their work ties together the censored histories between the colonised and colonial and engages the medium of identity as the last frontier of true sovereignty. Eash explores this frontier in a post-disciplinary fashion; using painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, film, music, poetry and performance as a means to reclaim space, history, and an identity that has been endangered by the California Genocide and the colonial invention of the “California Dream”.
With recent exhibitions at Sainsbury Centre (UK) and Centre d’Art Contemporaine de Nimes (FR) as well as exhibitions curated by Danielle Seewalker (Húŋkpapȟa Lakȟóta and citizen of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe) , Angelica Trimble-Yanu (Oglála Lakȟóta Sioux Nation of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation) , Janelle Murphy (Te Rarawa and Ngati Tuwharetoa) and Natasha Hanisi (Tonga) Eash’s international practice serves as a bridge between nations of varying worldviews. Tyler Eash holds a Masters in Fine Arts with Distinction from Goldsmiths University of London, 2019. Tyler Eash works between London, UK, and the forests of the Maidu in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Tyler Eash is represented in the UK by Nicoletti Contemporary.
