The Cosmic Egg(en)
2019-11-22
A non-narrative and abstract adaptation of the mythological motif, the cosmic egg, telling a story with only sounds and drawings. It is said to be at the beginning of the cosmos and universe--from it hatched our beloved seas, earth, oxygen, sun, moon, ritual and spirit. Though the tale of the Cosmic Egg has been told in many cultures and civilizations from around the world, even on all five continents, ink on glass illustrates this dimly coloured adaptation, verging many ideas from different cultures, instead of holding true to only one, celebrating the human experience not as a singularity, but as a whole.

Rain Dance is a four-minute animation produced by Hill while an undergraduate student at Harvard University from 1988-1992; the exact date of the production is currently unidentified. Although little known, the film is representative of both Hill’s do-it yourself approach – employing character cutouts, strong, yet playful colors, and a narrative and technical simplicity rich with charm – and her jovial demeanor and inquisitive approach to life. The film is dedicated to Elijah Aron, Hill’s boyfriend throughout college. Aron remained close friends with Helen and her husband Paul Gailiunas, and was the godfather of their son Francis.
