Supreme Collaborator Mike Hill Explains the Inspirations Behind His Dioramas

“Most of the time, I’m in a black pit.”

Supreme’s latest collaborator, Mike Hill, is best-known for his surreal papier-mache dioramas. We already told you a little bit about Hill’s work, but the Alien Workshop artistic director sat down with the Downtown Goliath to talk about the artistic rationale, process, and inspiration behind his work. In this clip, Hill expands on how his aesthetic was originally inspired by Dinosaur Jr.’s song “Little Fury Things” from the influential group’s album, You’re Living All Over Me. There’s also some footage of Hill and Supreme Team member and former AWS pro Jason Dill noodling around with the figurines.
