Kepsibel Hill’s creative practice is characterised by a repetitive and ritualistic engagement with the material world. Unbound by a commitment to conventional materials, she develops idiosyncratic processes, refining them over time on surfaces and substrates. The development of her own visual language through light and colour, informed by methodological and intuitive approaches, is a reflection of Hill’s embrace of freedom and limitation as opportunity for creative expansion. Her painting, sculpture and installations are confessional in nature and imbued with a sense of chaos and urgency as she attempts to align her internal world with her perception of the external world. 

It is the act of concealing and revealing through mark-making that grounds her multidisciplinary creative practice. 

Kepsibel lives and works on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Boon wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation. She pays her respect to their Elders, past and present and acknowledges their continuing relationship to this land, and their unbroken resilience. Australia always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
