Elsie Hill is primarily a painter who is also working with sculptural elements in this exhibition. The source material for this exhibition consists of photographs that she takes and artifacts that she collects from sites during demolition. She combines, rearranges and manipulates these images and artifacts in order to identify and isolate significant elements.The painted image serves as a representation of an object or space that has been deconstructed. When the painting is paired with an artifact, the work toggles between simulation and incorporation of elements from the former structure resulting in a visual record of architecture discarded in the wake of urban renewal.
