Joseph Hinds is a Toronto-based artist, who since 2013, has built a career as a prosthetic and makeup artist & designer for film and television production. His independent practice draws from the fabricated environments of cinema, amusement parks, and architecture; exploring their intersections with the human body and soul.

Working primarily with metal, glass, video, and sound, Hinds investigates transformation, permanence, and the parallels between architectural materiality and the body. His sculptural and installation work, memorial in nature, engages with reincarnation theory, cyclical patterns, and esoteric symbolism. Influenced by Rosicrucian metaphysics, brutalism, 19th-century cemetery monuments, and carnival aesthetics, he integrates spectacle and ritual to evoke both the ephemeral and the eternal. Hinds holds a diploma of makeup from CMU and is currently completing a BFA in Sculpture and Installation at OCAD University. He is also a member of film union local I.A.T.S.E 873.
