"Materials" is a series of photographs taken in 2011. Pictured are wads of printed photos taken in downtown San Francisco on a Thursday in June of 2011. Beginning the process physically, being in a city and taking a photograph, I then have a memory of that time and space. I was stopped, on foot, on the street, looked up and snapped a photograph. It was around 73 degrees and sunny. It was a Thursday. The photograph that was captured is only a small piece of this memory and merely captures fragments of the true memory. Then these fragments are separated once more into ink on paper from a printer, turning the buildings from the memories back into new physical materials. A new space is then created with all of these new materials. Layers of memories. Of physicality and ambiguity. This new space then is captured in photograph where another separation occurs and the memory of this severely manipulated new space is captured away from the original memory of that Thursday in San Francisco. The "Materials" series was the first in my exploration of circumstance's effect on a space and our memory of a space. This idea was later refined in my "Ford" series where I specifically explore perception of time in relation to velocity.

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.
