Tyler Eash (1988) is an artist of Mountain Maidu, Modoc and Irish Settler descent working in a post-disciplinary fashion; using performance, sculpture, drawing, painting, film, music and poetry as a means to give form and language to their waking from assimilation. In their practice, sincere confessions of lived experience reveal contradictory perspectives of both Settler and Indigenous, as a means of embodying lived truth divorced from the disillusionment of the “California Dream”. These findings are merged and manifested into a series of visual artifacts, texts, songs and happenings to correct or provide an alternative to an archive of looted American Indigeneity. Built in response to the removal of one’s own history, ancestral culture, and sense of self as a product of the censored California Genocide and its resulting slavery under the Act for the Government and the Protection of Indians (1850-1937), Eash uses the realms of contemporary art and culture as skillful means to demonstrate continued survival and provide insight to counter modes of being under late-stage capitalism. Whether material or immaterial, Eash’s work employs their body as a working document, an avatar to represent the desires of a post-capitalist, post-colonial, post-gender self, becoming an interface between a queer rural artist of the Indigenous American and Irish diasporas and the Anglo-colonial realms of “high culture”. Tyler Eash (1988, Táisidam/ Marysville, California, Turtle Island/USA), currently lives and works between London, UK, and the forests of the Maidu in the “Sierra Nevada” Mountains.
