Simryn Gill has developed a distinctive oeuvre that encompasses an array of media types and processes, including drawing, installation, and photography. ‘Sweet Chariot’ features a series of large black and white photographs, which lends its title to the exhibition. They depict the Strait of Malacca, taken from a fishing boat in the vicinity of the artist’s studio in Malaysia. A new series of relief prints titled ‘Pressing In,’ made with Melbourne printmaker Trent Walter, are impressions taken off the surfaces of pieces of timber washed onto the same coast. Taken together, the works play on form and material that records larger processes in the politics of and between places.
