ABOUT EMMA DILLON HILL
Emma Dillon Hill is a visual artist working in an abstract style of painting and drawing. She predominantly works with pigments and pastels to create a duality of softness and intensity, achieved through the use of bright colours and the soft nature of pigments to create a delicacy allowed by the matte finish of the works.
Her work focuses on the moments of beauty found in the mundane and the expression of the internal through abstraction. She uses her practice to find meaning in the monotony of daily life and process her internal longing into tangible form.
With a Bachelor in Fine Art, and having studied teaching and graphic design, she has been a practising artist since graduating from the National Art School in 2015. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group shows at galleries including Saint Cloche, Rainbow Studios, and Ambush Gallery and she has been published in Hunter & Folk and Art Edit Magazine. She currently lives and works in South Sydney, Australia.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Heavily influenced by colour and texture, my process is a continued exploration into the moment of connection created between viewer and artwork, and is an invitation inside, to view things only colour can depict; feelings desires, and moments of satisfaction.
I choose to work with abstraction because it allows me to explore the internal, and my experiences of daily life that creep in and out of my process. I have found my practice has held me in a time when only a creative outlet could, in parenting, chaos and life upheavals that are too heavy or complex to articulate in words.
The use of pigments is a deliberate choice to explore the softness and tactility of a fragile and delicate medium, one that allows me to create layers, and make colour choices that are in conversation with each other, given the mediums transparent qualities.
