A Room Of One’s Own: Women In Still Life

“My imagination is my room, I am free to wander, to be who I am, to lose myself in the moment. I use my hands to express whatever it is that is swirling around in my head, my heart. The hand mind connection is the thing that makes me feel alive, without it I fear I might shrivel up. It allows me to feel totally present and connected to the world, universe, whatever that might mean. It is gently empowering and it makes my heart sing in no uncertain terms. I pluck from my heart and gather from the immediate world around me, as a means of finding my place in the world, making sense of the world around me, and all the while searching for a way to express what is my truth.”

dialling in
12 July - 6 August 2022
King Street Gallery on William

“dialling in contains possibly Myfanwy’s most uplifting work yet, abundant with cherub-faced, rosy-cheeked kewpie doll cuteness. But don’t be dazzled as to not observe the nuance always present. There are hints of frustration and poignancy balancing the bright colours and happy forms.”

Myfanwy Gullifer: More Love
6 February - 14 March 2021
New England Regional Art Museum
(solo)
“I had been longing for a kind of immediacy with the materials I was using for this exploration of love - although clay, my usual medium, has a delicious and sensual quality - what I wanted was something that gave me ‘a put it down and there it is’ kind of quality. Add something, if it doesn’t work, take it away and for the process to feel fresh, unplanned and intuitive.
The use of old blankets was happenstance but worked perfectly, I had quite a lot and I could use my hands, as that hand, mind connection is very important to me. I also wanted to make larger sculptures and this way of making things This allowed for that. I didn’t have to wait for anything to dry, fire it, glaze it, think about the size of the kiln. There was a feeling of utter freedom, a sense of joy in the process and of discovery. I think that is what I have been searching for in life and I found it in the making.”
