At the age of 22, Hill started attending Columbia College Chicago, where he would be greatly influenced by the work of Chris Burden and Industry of the Ordinary.

After graduating, Hill returned to Los Angeles and studied at UCLA with Andrea Fraser and Jennifer Bolande.

The work included a large wooden model roller coaster that Hill lay on at all times the museum was open during the three-month exhibition.

The roller coaster was fabricated by Skyline Attractions and is on show for two years alongside amusement park photography.

In 2015 Hill was an Artist-in-Residence at The Studio Museum in Harlem in New York, was awarded the Fellowship for Visual Artists from the California Community Foundation in Los Angeles, and was nominated for the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Emerging Artist grant in Los Angeles.
