Inspired by Maurice Blanchot's novel Thomas the Obscure and the experience of observing his child acquiring speech, Hill extends the dialogue between semantics and consciousness in this heuristic tour de force. Depicting the synesthesia of reading and the dreamwork of the text, Hill grounds the viewer in the activity of becoming the text through a succession of evocative scenarios and revelatory motifs.

A little girl sleeps wrapped in her blankets. A lampshade that projects large areas of shadow is the source of a brightness that spreads from the inside of a room, like the circles generated by a stone thrown into the water, until it reaches the most distant places. What is manifested inside reverberates in the environment outside, because it is made of the same material. The video is a chant, a natural prayer in order to live as long as possible.

I explore the overlapping structures of skin and landscape to arouse sensations of underlying violence, psychological tension, or a supernatural facade. A piece is finished when I believe it articulates a single moment in time. My works reveal no gender, dealing rather with complex issues of identity, environmental awareness, and distortions of time, cognition and where-with-all in a world lacking unfettered sensitivity. The pieces intensify conjunctions of spiritualism, vulnerability, transgression, contradictory interpretations of meaning, and horror, and may invoke connections with the macroscopic world.
