Tracy Hill’s cross-disciplinary practice investigates and reconsiders the relationship between our developing digital technology and the aesthetic and traditions of the hand created mark. Current investigations consider the historical legacy of spatiotemporal, post-industrial landscapes though combinations of installation, print and hand drawn imagery.
The visual imagery is informed by data collected through digital mapping technology connecting with a modern obsession for locating, ordering and fragmenting journeys through our landscapes. However, Hill considers that in order to reconnect with ideas of place we must reconnect with the aesthetic, understand the experience, knowledge and memory of the physical encounter. Disrupted and reimagined Hill’s images require a visual and cognitive attention intrinsic to walking occupying the place where our digital and physical worlds overlap.
