Even he admits to not knowing exactly how many exhibitions he has done since his first one-man show. Dialog between artists of the s resulted in experiments with materials previously not considered traditional art media, such as neon, sticks, wax, cement and the relationship of those materials to each other. It was there that he mixed light and sand to create pieces which were more like painting than sculpture.

Using natural pigments he incorporates, in his work, a wide range of colors from brick reds derived, from iron oxide, coal blacks from black sulphur, yellows and naturally mined cobalt blues. Dill considers his works, over the years, to be concentric rather than a linear chronology. I noticed that he never threw anything away, image wise.

He recycled images. Carving cement has almost become second nature with me.
