	Interview and poem

	Limber 4, 2021, mixed media (EPE foam &#38;amp; fibre fill, hand stitched lycra, steel hanging armature by Neil Aldum, artificialhuman eyes)

Limber 7, 2022, mixed media (EPE foam &#38;amp; fibre fill, hand stitched lycra, PVC armature, ceramic titled plinth, artificial human eyes)
Gallery Portraits of Tarryn Gill by Mark Mohell, National Portrait Gallery, Australia
Installation Views by Liv Cameron,&#38;nbsp;National Portrait Gallery, Australia
	Limber 7 was commisssioned for Portrait23: Identity by the 
National Portrait Gallery.&#38;nbsp;
Tarryn Gill creates work that explores psychoanalytic ideas, bridging the conscious and unconscious. Limber extends a series of works that combine theatrical aesthetic materials and a process of makingthat reckons with the artist’s personal history in competitive dance and calisthenics.“This series of body works emerged from an encounter with nature: it was a moment in the midst of a forest when I felt powerless and filled with rage at the patriarchy. I felt uplifted by these trees an had an experience of awe encountering their feminine power. These abstracted, multi-limbed self portraits are about my personal transformation, growing in the egoless way trees do. They attemptto express how I feel in my hypermobile body and are less about self image or likeness.Limber 4 and 7 were made using carved foam covered with stretched, pinned and hand-stitched metallic dance Lycra. They have this Frankenstein’s monster quality, but they’re very soft andfeminine. I also put eyes in the vulnerable places on the sculptures. I’ve been hypersexualised in the past, particularly as a young female performer. Putting these eyes in areas like the crotch or hands where they can look back is empowering me by empowering these figures.”

	UNHEIMLICH
Unheimlich is a theatrical collaboration of visual arts, and performance. Dip into this darkly-comic dream state – a house-cat will be your guide.&#38;nbsp;Unheimlich,&#38;nbsp;meaning un-homely/uncanny, is a space where the familiar can quickly become strange or frightening. Join our happy couple on this journey where dreams and memories merge into reality and our shadow selves come out to play. Child-like games take on a deeper significance, jokes are wielded as weapons, and masks slip to reveal things that were intended to remain out of sight.Conjuring fantastical imagery from the recesses of the human mind, Unheimlich is a thrilling performance work by director and The Last Great Hunt alum Katt Osborne and multidisciplinary artist Tarryn Gill. Drawing inspiration from her acclaimed Guardians series of soft sculptures, Gill has created life-sized, hand-sewn masks to be animated by an exciting team of Perth’s most-established performing artists.&#38;nbsp;UNHEIMLICH has been supported by the WA Government through the DLGSCI and its Theatre Development Initiative &#38;amp;&#38;nbsp;PICA’s Art Commissioners. The development of this project has been supported by&#38;nbsp;The Blue Room Theatre’s LOFT program.

State Art Collection, Art Gallery of Western Australia. 
Purchased through the Art Gallery of Western Australia Foundation: TomorrowFund, 2021. 
AGWA presents three new sculptural works from Tarryn Gill’s Limber series; the largest works Gill has made to date and the Gallery’s most significant acquisition of her work. Gill’s work draws from surrealism, puppetry, period aesthetics (often of the 1930s and 1940s) and, particularly in Limber, her own background in dance and calisthenics.
Sitting between the human, animal and the otherworldly, her entities channel our deepest fears and fantasies, and imagine into reality new beings we might yet become. These three captivatingly expressive works were inspired by a life-changing encounter with the hairy, limb-like forms of the Trembesi trees in Indonesia. She experienced an intense, powerfully intimate connection between what she terms “their warmly protective, matriarchal presence” and the physical traits of her previous sculptural work. Gill channelled the physical and emotional essence of this kinship into strong and graceful beings who amplify and refigure poses she made in competitive calisthenics. This helped her overcome her long-held sense of powerlessness as a sexualised female athlete. They expand the performing body into monstrous, egoless forms that can look back at you from their crotches and crooks; meeting the male gaze powerfully but also holding space for those who see themselves in them.

	There is a process in Jungian analysis of visualising a complex in order to begin a conversation with it. A ‘complex’ is a pattern of emotions or beliefs organised around a theme. ‘Visualisation’ creates a physical form for those emotions, a character or persona. Perhaps a marauding sea-witch of self-doubt is protecting a clamshell that contains your voice, perhaps a hyper-rational golden Sphynx will offer a clever riddle that opens a trapdoor in its chest. Perhaps an oil-slick blob that sometimes looks just like you shapeshifts in the shadows. Emotions themselves might evade language, but once they become a discrete visual entity disentangled from the self they can be looked at with clear eyes, and given a talking to. The characters Tarryn Gill creates perform a similar function; they draw from a reserve of strange and familiar images - gods, monsters, the Rocky Horror Picture Show, sculptural antiquities, medieval illustration, Muppets, her family, her cat, herself – to reach into the heart, brain and belly and draw something deep out into dialogue. Her sculptures produce a waking ‘dream state’ – awash with symbols and weird logic and studded with guides to lead us on our quest. 
Character-building has been a part of Tarryn’s practice since her first major exhibition as a solo artist, You’ll be sorry when I’m dead at Moana Project Space, Perth in 2014. A ring of foam and fabric ‘guardians’ embedded with speakers sung a babbling eulogy for a body laid in state, dismembered but recognisably human. The guardians were inspired by encounters with funerary sculpture across continents. A 2013 residency at the Freud Museum had presented the opportunity to study collections of antiquities preserved with Sigmund and Anna Freud’s consulting rooms; a visit to the Tokyo National Museum around the same time had introduced the Haniwa, anthropomorphic statues placed in burial grounds to ward off evil spirits.
  Tarryn’s characters – even those standing guard at the tomb - loosen the knot of difficult feeling with a balm of theatrical levity. Her shift to solo practice followed a decade of high-profile collaboration producing film, photography and performance with artist Pilar Mata Dupont, as well as occasional forays into design for theatre. Another significant influence on both her collaborative and solo practices is a background in calisthenics, a sport of skill, strength and glamour. She performed competitively from age five to twenty-five. Later, work in theatre enabled experimentation with a ‘Henson style’ technique of foam puppetry. Tarryn recognised its potential as a sculptural form that could synthesize her interests in the body and in costume, and also how much pleasure the process brought her. Her sculptures hold this feeling: the sense of someone giving themselves permission to find joy in something freshly unearthed.
 Since the inclusion of another group of guardians in the 2015 Adelaide Biennial, Magic Object, Gill’s repertoire has expanded to include characters of different psychological resonance. Frequently appearing are a pantheon of ‘tricksters’, human-animal chimeras of playful but disconcerting intent. Like the guardian, the trickster is an archetype that appears across the breadth of human storytelling, using secret knowledge and enticing pranks to creativity undermine established logic. See: The Fool card in Tarot arcana, Puck from Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s dream or the djiti-djiti (the original, Noongar name for the ‘willy wagtail’) luring children away from the fire with song and dance. In their challenge to authority, tricksters are closely associated with another very Jungian form, the ‘shadow’ – a second self that contains all of the parts of us we refuse to consciously acknowledge, which can manifest without warning. Frequently, Tarryn creates relationships between trickster-like figures and doubled or two faced beings; these are often modelled on her own face, or on members of her family.&#38;nbsp;  A recent opportunity to upscale has introduced another type of figure. Previous works have stayed close to the ‘real’ dimensions of human or animal bodies, dependant on plinths or other supports - oversized disembodied heads have suggested larger-than-life supernatural forces, but these have thus far remained wedded to the wall. For Body Work, curated by Erin Coates for Fremantle Art Centre in 2020, Tarryn used steel armatures to create outsized, free-standing and self supporting figures able to take up architectural space. These figures – the first in the ‘Limber’ series - were inspired by the awesome scale of Trembesi trees that Tarryn had walked amongst in Indonesia. In their curling branches she identified a powerful force that she coded as matriarchal, the suggestion of a quiet inner strength that could counter hypersexualised and objectifying representations of bodies identified as female. The figures inspired by these trees are monstrous but powerfully so, neither human, plant nor animal, embedded with eyes that make contact with their audience from all angles. Whereas previous works have used their fantastical qualities to suggest an otherworldly or internal space, the Limber series seem fantastically embodied, headless and yet not dissociative. They are firmly of this world rather than visiting from the next. 

 Dream State brings together a new series of Limber figures and a companion group of tricksters and shadows, humanoid cats who lounge in wait. A twin palette sets them in dialogue. Gold fabric simulates monumental, sculptural bronze; black sheens and sequins play tricks with the light. The golden bodies extend previous calisthenics poses to include protective and tender gestures that hold and gather limbs to themselves. A smaller series of maquette-style sculptures return to the desktop scale of funerary objects encountered in Freud’s study. 
 While the pairing might suggest opposition, the two ‘categories’ of sculptures are arranged across space as if they are partners in a dance. Shadow or trickster figures can often be framed as villains, but their qualities are not essentially negative. Fixed binaries, like good and bad, can be destabilising forces in themselves. Tricksters can balance authoritarian tendencies, or soften what is calcified with necessary questioning. The shadow simply absorbs the things we won’t admit to; sometimes these can be ugly, but they might also be beautiful things left to wilt in the dark.  To return to Jung, ignoring either shadow or trickster is to put one’s self in peril; both will be with us forever, no matter how much we dodge or repress. Avoidance only increases their power. To live more comfortably with ourselves, and in our bodies, it makes better sense to visualise our tricky parts and shadows as something other than adversaries. Perhaps they could be sidekicks, wisecracking Disney animal friends that can helps us on our way. Or, our dance partners. Better, perhaps, to choreograph a waltz of alternating leads, delight in how dark sequins shimmer, and limber up.
