Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork depicts a pair of black and white scissors against a dark background, creating a striking visual contrast. The composition is centered and focused, emphasizing the sharp, angular shapes of the scissors. The high contrast and dramatic lighting give the image a sense of mystery and tension, showcasing the artist's mastery of photographic technique. This minimalist and conceptual work reflects the artist's exploration of the mundane object as a subject, inviting the viewer to consider the deeper significance and symbolism inherent in everyday tools and instruments. ...

Artist
Pati Hill
1921, American

Pati Hill was born in 1921 in Ashland, Kentucky. After a short but dazzling career as a model, between 1951 and 1962 she wrote a dozen short stories and five books which earned her real critical recognition. Hill published One Thing I Know in 1962 after giving birth to her first and only daughter. She was then forty-one years old, and would later claim to have decided at that time to «stop writing in favour of housekeeping.’’ If it is true that she published no work for thirteen years, Hill continued to write: poems and a diary. She also opened an antique shop. But above all it was during this period that Hill began her first plastic experiments with a photocopier, which she began to use, untrained as an artist, as an artistic tool to explore the relationship between image and text. In 1974, Hill publishes a collection of poems with an unambiguous title, Slave Days, in which her first works appear: xerographs of household objects that seem to float in indistinct space. By using the copier—a machine that was stereotypically linked to secretarial work and thus to feminized labor—to trace everyday objects such as a comb, a carefully folded pair of men’s trousers, or a child’s toy, Hill develops an artistic practice that programmatically translates invisible domestic labor into a visual and public language. Through her use of this reproductive apparatus, she creates a model of artistic production that critically opposes the convention of individual expression as well as the supposed neutrality of technologically produced images. At fifty, Pati Hill began a career as an artist which led her to exhibit in France and the United States, creating a considerable body of work, over nearly 40 years, made up of thousands of photocopies, texts and drawings. When she died in 2014, a part of her archive was transferred to Arcadia University, Glenside, Pennsylvania. ...
