NSG Affiliate Jack Hill

The ideas are born from observation of the human existence, in all its splendor and absurdity. The addition of my own whimsy and uncommon approach brings about an expression of life in the permanence of bronze. People are only one part of the whole planet and my anthropomorphic works are an exploration of the blending of man into various parts of the environment. With attention to anatomic detail and a tongue-in-cheek twist I wish to stimulate the imagination and, maybe, tickle the funny bone."

​Sculpture is not the first profession Jack Hill has embraced, although he has always worked in spatial art forms. Born in Rochester, N.Y. and trained in Syracuse, New York City, and Paris, France. Jack's successful career as a mime, magician, and ventriloquist spanned three continents and twenty two years. Studying and performing with Marcel Marceau, touring with his own mime company, and as a solo act, he became adept at manipulating, shaping space and defining form.

Jack's skills in wood carving, puppet making, and boat building blended to catalyze the epiphany he experienced at the sculpture studio of Randolph Johnson in the Bahama Islands. Creating dramatic imagery with the permanence of bronze became the new direction for his life. The techniques of the "lost wax" casting process, learned at a local foundry, opened the door to a new phase of three-dimensional expression.

About his work Jack says..."When on stage I moved through a complete set of gestures and emotions, but in my sculpture I try to capture a single moment in time, inviting the viewer to fill in the before and after with his own imagination and experience. It is this participation that complete the circle of the creative process initiated by my hands in clay.
