The Hill Gallery is pleased to announce our upcoming exhibition of new & recent works by America's preeminent sculptor Mel Kendrick.

Mel Kendrick’s practice has involved the use of cast bronze, concrete, a variety of woods, rubber, resin, as well as investigations with cast paper. Kendrick addresses philosophical, conceptual, and fundamental questions around sculpture: namely, the relationship between the object as we experience it and the means by which it was created.
