Rebecca Grace Hill is an interdisciplinary artist, writer, researcher, and giftgiver. Both Hill and her work can be found around Chicago, California, and throughout New Zealand. Her published writings include poetry, book reviews, and scholarly work. As for her studio practice, she mainly glues paper on other paper. She recently left Chicago (which she loves for its imagination, inventiveness, and resilience) and relocated to Upstate New York. Currently, she lives with her partner and two cats near one of the highest natural waterfalls in the area, Lower Falls, not that close to where she was born.
Artist Statement
My work focuses on reframing personal narratives, especially ones of grief, pain, or loss. In my art studio I make small portable collages and larger assemblage installations. My creative ethos draws from a variety of craft values, including the DIY ethic and creative reuse. I work with collage, assemblage, and installation, using materials such as ephemera and previously unloved objects. When brought together these items are able to tell new stories of hope and transformation.
