ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This piece is part of a group dealing with the position and history of particles in the universe. As all of the atoms of the universe have always been in existence, they must have had a physical position at ever point on the universal timeline. "Randomization Trends Relative to Transfer of Resources [+/- 58,000 years]" depicts a graph with an x-axis representing resources and a y-axis representing time. The x-axis is delineated in the same fashion as a stock market report and the y-axis in the fashion of the Mayan long-count calendar, with the present day sitting somewhere between 13.0.0.0.0 and 16.0.0.0.0. The data represented is a scatter plot that marks the position of desired particles throughout the history of time and space in our visible universe. The trend lines present a natural bell-curve for two groups (A & B) as well as a constant that can be translated to a symbiotic ebb and flow as the long count calendar turns over and over.

As we learn new things, what we understand about reality must adjust respectively. Through his work, Dillon explores the limits presented by the subjective experience to observe the building blocks of the world around us. Deeply curious about the structure of the universe and ourselves, he marries studies in quantum physics with his artistic influences to address the circumstantial nature of the human dilemma. Through brief suggestions, pared down performative actions and a quiet, contemplative arch through his work, he opens a space for the viewer to understand their own experience and question the certainty of the human condition. To feel strange in a place and not know why. To feel lost on a street you’ve always known. With a strong foundational influence from artists such as Diebenkorn, Martin, Ryman and Stella, there are also very clear, connections to the writings and approaches of artists like Nauman, Morris, Hesse, and LeWitt. Through all of this, his romantic outlook on life maintains, in his work, the tranquility of Ader, Alys, and Turrell. Based out of Oakland, California, Dillon has a BFA in printmaking from California College of the Arts and Crafts. His practice now spans print, photography, sculpture, writing, as well as performative and ephemeral works.
