Tarryn Gill is a Boorloo/Perth-based multidisciplinary artist who works across the mediums of sculpture, installation, photography, film, drawing, set and costume design, and performance. Through art making Tarryn seeks to create work that explores psychoanalytic ideas, bridging the conscious and unconscious. Her theatrical aesthetics, materials and processes are informed by her background in dance and competitive calisthenics. Tarryn is the recipient of several art awards and has exhibited widely across Australia, Argentina, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Portugal, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Tarryn’s Limber extends a series of works that combine theatrical aesthetic materials and a process of making that reckons with the artist’s personal history in competitive dance and calisthenics.
