About

Keyhole to Other Dimensions is a freestanding wooden installation inspired by Dill's illustration project Trip Number and more than a decade of photographing Burning Man. Rising about ten feet tall, the sculpture reads as a keyhole from the front and back and a key-like form from the sides. Layered wood ribs, shelves, and hidden compartments create depth throughout the structure. Photographs from the playa and illustrated imagery appear across its surfaces and interior spaces. Benches at the base offer a place to pause and look outward across the playa, while openings and interior spaces invite closer looking and discovery. At night, low amber light beneath the benches and subtle uplighting from the ground reveal the structure's depth.
