Still / Life Jennifer Hill

Jennifer Hill

“Still / Life,” by Jennifer Hill, is an exhibition of porcelain clay vessels created while observing natural textures and daydreaming them into surfaces. Hill’s body of work uses the vessel as a canvas for texture explorations which can contain flowers, a classic element in arranging a still life. This work, as a whole, conveys a sense of keeping still and staying in place, while letting the imagination play with form and surface.

Each object was the result of looking at botanical forms and sea life, and abstracting the textures by combining multiple observations. Her medium is clay because of its range of physicality, from sensuous pliability to earthy solidity. Clay embodies the ideal dichotomy to communicate the contrast between a lively surface and its quiet structure.
