“The thing is what we make of the world rather than simply what we find in
the world … It is a compromise between mind and matter, the point of there
crossing one into the other. It is our way of dealing with the plethora of
sensations, vibrations, movements and intensities that constitute our
world and ourselves …” *

Elizabeth Grosz
The Thing, 2001

My contemplative art practice and self-publishing explores the experiential encounter between inner and outer, the physical world and sensibilities. It responds to the flux of wayfinding between mind and matter where one flows into the other.

A sense of the provisional feels necessary for the wayfinding process to continue between sight and site, surface and structure, form and formless, while allowing for possibilities and space for the observer and larger world to enter.

Gill Shreeve has a Master’s degree in Fine Art (MFA) with distinction from Newcastle University UK graduating in 2018. Working through various approaches, Gill focuses on the active, often ambiguous, dynamic between our perceptual and motor relations within the world.

Prior to her MFA, Gill had established her practice, primarily as a painter, represented by galleries across the UK.
