Tiny Hill Adventures was a poetic idea, a collaborative art experiment, and a participatory exhibition, made possible by the openness of fellow Kenyon College students and a grant from the Horn Gallery, that summed up the vast and tiny experience of my time as a college student.
Since freshman year I had been carrying a camera with me almost everywhere I went at school, and half of the show was made up of 100 prints of my favorite shots from that series. The other half showcased text-based mixed media works, mostly using everyday objects and office supplies, that were inspired by email exchanges with other students.
From the fall of 2016 to the spring of 2017, I sent questions to a group of 30-some volunteers and used data from their responses to fuel my art practice. Many of the works allowed the final audience to contribute further to the information I gathered, or respond in other ways, creating an exchange that I as artist made possible but did not alter.
