Ephemeral Bodies

EPHEMERAL BODIES is the concept of things being transitory, existing only briefly and emanates from POROSITY – an Arts Council funded R&D project which seeks to reveal unseen landscapes, exploring the walking body as a receiver of the hidden energies surrounding us.

Using drawing methods developed during Porosity as a starting point, Hill’s material investigations have traced the interaction between the artist hand and material surfaces, tracing the exchange between absence and presence. Ephemeral Bodies is a site-specific drawing created from salt, the visible time taken to physically create, and the temporality of unconventional drawing materials, invite considerations about how we understand and value sensory encounters of invisible forces we cannot see.
