Simryn GILL (b. 1959) lives and works in Sydney, Australia, and Port Dickson, Malaysia, and specialises in sculpture, photography, drawing, writing and publishing. Gill is an avid collector of discarded objects and trinkets, and works with elements of the everyday, including books, texts and plants. Her work embodies themes of transformation, and through the reinterpretation of these materials, which may be printed, glued, pressed, or torn, she considers how ideas and meanings are communicated between people, objects, and sites. Gill often works on paper, experimenting with various printing techniques, and her work looks at paper from different perspectives: as support for images, as material for objects, as index of a process of entropic decay.

In 2023 Gill’s large scale installation 'Maria’s Garden' (2021), was shown at The National 4: Australian Art Now, Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Sydney, and her photographic work 'Channel', was shown in Barbican. Other recent exhibitions include 'The Gorgeous Nothings: Flowers' at Chatsworth, Chatsworth House, Derbyshire Dales, United Kingdom (2025); 'The Sea is a Field', Singapore Art Museum, Singapore (2024); 'Extinct: Empire, Art and Natural Histories', Linnean Society, London, United Kingdom (2023); 'Soft Tissue', Jhaveri Contemporary, Mumbai, India (2019); 'Passing Through', Utopia Art, Sydney, Australia (2019); 'Works on Paper', Kohta, Helsinki, Finland (2018).

Throughout her career, Gill has presented her art at several significant events, including Germany's Documenta art show and the Venice Biennale. Her work is included in major international collections including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, Centre Pompidou, Paris; Getty Center, Los Angeles; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; M+, Hong Kong; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; National Gallery, Singapore; and Tate Modern, London.
