Ellie Hill’s practice weaves together play and personal exploration, embracing art as a multisensory journey. Hill seeks to engage all senses in both the act of making and the experience of viewing. Each work speaks its own language – communicating with viewers through contextual cues that form an open-ended dialogue, encouraging personal reflection and response. 

Transcending The Customary explores themes of reinvention and the evolving dialogue between their sculptural practice and physical form. As they navigate the tensions of change, they find themselves drawn to familiar routine – rituals that bind them within a comfort zone even as theymove beyond. Through transformation, they become form: relearning to build, dismantle, and to play. The process mirrors a personal journey –simultaneously tethered to the past and towards a new state of becoming. The work becomes both a vessel of memory and a gesture towards transition. 

Hill’s work has been exhibited in 2024 at The Last Man exhibition at Hulme Theatre and The Last Man Collective exhibition at BrickHouse Social.
