| | OTHER HOLDINGS: | Hill, Aron | | ARTIST BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: | Aron Hill graduated from Alberta College of Art and Design in 2000 with a BFA in Interdisciplinary studies. He then completed his MFA at Goldsmiths College, University of London, where his work evolved into installation-based projects using traditional drawing and painting methods alongside formal sculptural elements, large format photography and text-based work. Hill is an artist, an educator, a writer, and a recent a foster parent, the latter of which has become reflected in his work. Colour, and strong shapes are now enhanced by the addition of collage. Embroidery, sewing, and gluing representing themes of a domestic life, labour, care and community—even historical colonialism have been woven into this compelling visual narrative. Hill has exhibited internationally, occasionally lectures, and writes. |
