Gill Gatfield
Gill Gatfield’s art practice intersects the disciplines of sculpture, painting and installation. Her permanent and temporary public art projects blend aesthetics, politics and philosophy, offering layers of conceptual narrative. Each artwork is a precise combination of materials, abstract form, title, and method of construction yet maintains a sense of the unknown. Incorporating audience, context, site, and environment as dynamic content, Gatfield’s work entices the viewer and endures with time.
