Jill Kiddons work centers on the intersections of humans and the environment, with a focus on spacial structures, concepts of time and the notion of destruction as a transformative agent.
Her sculptures and immersive installations shift the space they inhabit by proposing new relations of materiality. As her pieces transition from one state to another the transformative quality of matter is implied, challenging traditional ways of understanding the material world as a whole. Within her arrangements the human presence remains abstract – appearing only as a trace of itself in the midst of the continuity of things.
