Silverwork embroidery
12.7 x 10 cm
2026
In the series Water + Night, the boundary between water and sky is explored as a literal and conceptual horizon. The reflective power of metal-work embroidery is used as an intimate medium to explore the reflective surface of celestial light on water. Much like telescopes utilise mirrors to gather light and form our images of the cosmos, bodies of water are here considered natural instruments through which we might come to develop alternative understandings of the cosmos.
Julie F Hill’s research-led practice takes an expanded approach to photography to explore conceptions of deep-space and cosmological time. Often starting with scientific data, she questions technologies of capture, processes of knowledge production and how they shape ecological relations. Through materiality she highlights the intimate connections and exchanges between the organic and the inorganic; life and non-life; Earth and space, asserting the capacity of non-human agencies and intelligences.
