Detail of Robin Hill, ‘Slide Carousel’ (2014) |
Iris Cushing interviewed
Robin Hill about her recent exhibition at
Ramon's Tailor in San Francisco. They discussed Hill's long artistic interest in the
unnoticed in our lives, cups, plastic bags, etc., things that are held in the hand but easily let go. For the
Ramon's Tailor exhibition Hill made rubbings of once ubiquitous slide carousel. When asked about the rubbings Hill responded
“I use it to capture materials that I’ve found — it’s a way of extending the life of those things. I’m not destroying the object, I’m not cutting it up, I’m just taking a reading of it. An analog, sort of hand-held scan.” .....“A core requirement of my work is that I develop something that’s already there,” says Hill. more
