JILL KING STUDIO {Mixed Media Sculpture, Public Art}

 

 

Above Image: Jill King, Gamma Ray 2025, Created for a temporary Installation at the Dubuque Museum of Art. Gamma Ray transforms the explosive energy of gamma radiation into a sculptural metaphor for a political landscape in upheaval. A welded steel framework and quilted textiles burst through a wall of light, incorporating toile, U.S. flag fabric, and denim—materials that evoke aspiration, nationhood, and labor—suggesting rupture, resilience, and renewal.

 

Jill King is a Chicago-born visual artist whose work has appeared in both public and private venues across the country. For more than three decades she built her artistic career in Chicago and Evanston, Illinois, creating dynamic works that explore material, form, and movement. In May of 2024, King relocated to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she now creates mixed-media sculptures in her studio at House of RAD, an artist collective that fosters experimentation and collaboration.
