Simryn Gill uses a range of methods, including collecting, casting, writing, drawing and photographing. Mine consists of small spheres made from elements found around her two studios in Sydney and Port Dickson (Malaysia), such as paper bark, discarded bits of electrical wire, hair bands and shoelaces found on the street, various termite soils, tropical vines, mangosteen skins and yams. These forms include: a rock discovered on a walk; a pomegranate bought from a local market; or a brick tumbled into roundness by years of wave action on a beach. These materials, with their own dense and particular histories, have been rolled, stroked, woven, wound, caressed into silent, mute forms to make small balls of mobility and resistance.
