Hillon’s focus is on the design and production of sculptural forms, exploring the interaction between viewer, spatial dimensions and fortified structures. Scale and connectivity are key considerations, with current research exploring principles and new media technologies that unify sculpture, with space to produce immersive works that provide potential for increased accessibility and audience participation
