Through sculpture and drawing, Kia Neill creates simulations that blur nature into the fantastic. Extraordinary, almost extraterrestrial landscapes, such as caves, mollusks and coral reefs serve as the reference point for Neill’s graphite drawings and steel and mixed media sculptures. The works provoke the viewer’s imagination to mentally wander through a space they cannot occupy.
