Julie F Hill is a British artist whose work explores the vastness of nature as represented by modern science. She creates print-based works and sculptural installations that provide an experience of intimate immensity: imaginative encounters with deep space and time. Through her work she questions processes of scientific knowledge production and the technologies used in its construction, particularly in relation to the disciplines of astronomy and geology. Conscious of the environmental costs of technoscience, she is concerned with creating an ecological framework for her practiceand figuring methodologies to connect with different scales and forms of non-human consciousness, agency and intimacy, from the molecular to the cosmic. Crystalline and mineral substances from the deep earth fuse with astronomical data to suggest the deep-earth as an instrument for coming to know the cosmos. Crystalline and mineral substances formed in the continuum of deep earth and deep space allow us to peer back into cosmic time, both as technologies and the geological record they hold. Whilst darkness often indicates uncertainty and lack of knowledge, Hill asserts that it’s through darkness when we can be most perceptive to the interconnectedness between earth and cosmos. Through it we are able to extend our kinship with the inorganic and expand consciousness of what constitutes nature.
