Emily C. R. Hill (b. 1987 in Vancouver, CA) lives in Vancouver, CA on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh).
Her painting, sculpture and performance practice incorporates both traditional textile dye techniques and experimental media documentation. Hill explores stains and marks, working with a vocabulary of painting that responds to gesture as a site for mixing habit and tradition. Muscles draw from memories of movements in the world formed by forces that feel like both contaminants and heirlooms. Select solo and group exhibitions include “Pom Pom Figures” at C.S.A Space (CA, 2026) “Levers & Counterweights” at SFU (CA, 2026) “Pits and Platforms” at People (CA, 2024) “House Work” curated by Caitlin Jones and Shiloh Sukkau (CA, 2024) “Dense Salad” at Cheerleader (CA, 2023) “I.I.H.T.T.A.F” at DUPLEX (CA, 2017) “Looks” at Campbell River Art Gallery (CA, 2017) “Passage Exotique” at Soloway (USA, 2016) “Air Spill” at Macaulay and Co (CA, 2014) She is currently an MFA candidate at Simon Fraser University 2027.
