Hill’s imagery is the result of a collaborative process of movement on and with the Land, presenting the stream, forest, lawn and sky near his home in Chelsea, Quebec, in ways that become abstract, layered and at times vertiginous.

kahyónha_kárha_atenoseràke_karònyake streamforestlawnsky presents new artworks by Kanyen’keháka (Mohawk) artist, curator and outdoors person Greg A. Hill that arise from decades of observing, moving through, learning about and deepening his relationship to the landscapes around his home in Chelsea, Quebec. These experiences are GPS-tracked and visually presented as 3D-printed sculptures tracing the artist’s movements through the landscape, abstracted photographs of trees and sky taken during winter-night excursions into the forest, photo-collages and digital abstractions created while examining plants on his lawn, and a video installation of a walk up a stream.

These works challenge how we both represent and orient ourselves in relation to the places around us, and address how we often overlook what we consider to be familiar. Through language reclamation and building responsibility and reciprocity to Land, Hill’s imagery is the result of a collaborative process of movement on and with the Land, rejecting colonial ways of visualizing and mapping space and presenting it in ways that are abstract, layered and at times vertiginous.

By combining observational study with outdoor activities such as snowshoeing, mountain biking and hiking as part of his artistic process, Hill shifts both what these activities might mean and their purpose. Taken together, this facilitates a reorientation to the Land around us, in ways that are both relational and aesthetic. This is an experience we are exposed to in the gallery, and that stays with us as we are once again outside and more aware of our relations to kahyónha, kárha, atenoseràke and karònyake.
