Stoned Henge Water Feature

Inspired by a magazine article featuring the personalised interior of a prison cell, Hill’s installation will explore the possibility of happiness within the most inhumane of enclosures. Alluding to ritual placement and the splintering phenomenology of objects, the work will exude a rebellious disregard for the space surrounding items placed within the cell. Using water, black lighting, rocks, and plastic, a bit of “scandi’pan design inspiration” together with fabric and drawing, the walls fall away and the mind is set free. Hill’s Stoned Henge Water Feature will suggest that stone-encircled ceremonies may be as fluid as they are oppressive, and all law must end in ruin.
