Gugan Gill (b. 1999) is a multi-disciplinary artist from the Black Country, now based in Birmingham. 

She is a novice gardener.

Gugan’s work attends to the overlooked practice of daily life, seeking out the stories, rituals, and forms of wisdom embedded in the everyday with emphasis on those that have been forgotten and/or marginalised. With particular focus on the practice of growing, place and cultivating community, a sense of domestic feminism is woven throughout her work. Inspired by Luce Giard’s reflections on embodied knowledge, and Ursula Le Guin’s consideration for the life story, Gugan consider how quiet, habitual acts carry memory, resistance, and belonging. Here we can begin to understand ways we shape and are shaped by the world around.
