Throughout her career lyrical vocab- ulary has been a binding factor in Dill’s artworks, serving as a bridge to the inner world of universal emotions and complexities. The Poetic Visions exhibit focuses on two bodies of work; metallic sculp- tures like Shimmer and a 2010 installation based on the life of Sister Gertrude Morgan (1900-1980), a New Orleans preacher and missionary who used her music and art as tools of her ministry. For the installation Hell Hell Hell/Heaven Heaven Heaven: Encountering Sister Gertrude Morgan and Revelation, Dill constructed two lavish gowns to reflect Morgan’s early life and her life after she expe- rienced a divine revelation that she had been chosen to be the bride of Christ. The white-based wed- ding gown, adorned with text and cascading train-like ban- ners that speak of her calling, is visually connected to the other black-based dress in a unified space draped with poetic references.
