Tarryn Gill is a multidisciplinary artist working across the mediums of photography, film, sculpture, drawing and performance. Over the years her practice has also moved rhizomatically outwards from visual art through film, theatre, choreography, costume and set design. She crosses these boundaries dragging characters, references, materials and sensibilities with her. Gill’s practice is currently informed by research into tomb art, the supernatural and the uncanny, as well as practices of collecting. Drawing heavily on theatrical and museological conventions she creates works that explore visual cultures of death, memory and consumption, creating ‘characters’ that seem to breach the boundaries between the earthly and otherworldly.

Through her solo and collaborative practices, Tarryn Gill has exhibited works and undertaken residency projects across Australia, in Argentina, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Portugal, the United Kingdom and the United States. Notably, her work has been included in exhibitions at the following: Akademie der Kunste, Berlin; 17th Biennale of Sydney; Art Gallery of Western Australia; Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography; Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane; and Centre Pompidou, Paris and Art Basel, Miami. She is represented in Australian collections including Artbank, Art Gallery of Western Australia, City of Perth, Kerry Stokes Collection, Wesfarmer Arts and Queensland Art Gallery.
