East Stroudsburg University’s Madelon Powers Gallery will present “Echoes,” an exhibition by sculptor Jonathan Hils, from Feb. 4 through March 4.

The exhibition features a body of work that explores perception, interpretation and structure through the intersection of digital and physical processes.

Hours for the gallery, located in the university’s Fine and Performing Arts Building, Normal and Marguerite streets, are Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

A reception for the artist will be held on Feb. 4 from 4-6 p.m. in the gallery. The exhibition and reception are open to the public at no cost.

The works in “Echoes” form a cross-section of Hils’ ongoing artistic investigations into how meaning is constructed within an increasingly fragmented, synthesized reality. Drawing on both digital and physical references, the exhibition incorporates source imagery shaped through digital processes, reflective materials that activate the viewer’s presence, and engineered geometric systems constructed from acrylic, 3D-printed plastic, layered paint and exposed hardware.

Situated between sculpture, painting and printmaking, these works are designed digitally using CAD and CNC technologies, then realized through meticulous handwork.

Geometry recurs throughout the exhibition as both a visual language and a conceptual framework, making it an index of the complexities and tensions that accompany our deepening entanglement with digital identity. While geometry suggests logic and reason, it exists alongside the persistent instability of contemporary experience shaped by algorithms, software, robotic tools and code, which now function as extensions of human agency.

Hils is a sculptor with a professional career spanning more than 25 years.

A native of New Hampshire and currently residing in Oklahoma, Hils is recognized for intricate artworks created across a wide range of materials using both traditional and digital techniques. He has completed numerous domestic and international commissions for private and corporate clients in the United States, China, Australia, Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates.

His public sculptures have received several awards from municipalities and juried competitions across the U.S., and he is a former USA Artist Fellowship nominee.

His work is represented in museum collections, including the Oklahoma City Museum of Art.

Hils maintains a studio in Norman, Oklahoma, where he explores digital fabrication technologies as a natural evolution of his studio practice. He is a professor of sculpture at the University of Oklahoma School of Visual Arts, where he has taught sculpture, digital fabrication and professional practice for artists since 2002.
