ON VIEW: WITNESS
Morgan Hill is a sculptor and jewelry designer whose work draws on a wide range of aesthetic and conceptual influences from 90’s pop culture, cult films, and costume design to her Southern, Christian upbringing and experiences as the only female child in an extended family of farmers in Arkansas. Her longing to break the silence surrounding culturally censured topics drives her to create work on themes of death, abuse, depression, and suicide, as well as their counterparts of rebirth, healing, and empowerment. On the lighter side, her jewelry brand Bad Habits by Morgan Hill celebrates the pleasure of excess and indulged desires. West Town Art Walk Weekend, Hill's solo exhibition of sculptural mirrors, "Witness" opens at Gallery 2052, and as always we will showcase an adjacent collection of her handmade jewelry.
On view: September 22—Nov. 6.
