May 2026. For View Magazine, art critic Roger Wylie reflects on Gill Gatfield's multifacted practice and her trajectory in international art ecosystems:

... Aotearoa New Zealand has produced many artists of force and feeling, but Gatfield’s work occupies a stranger, more charged territory. It is beautiful, certainly. Sometimes almost too beautiful: marble polished into silence, crystal glass holding light like a secret, ancient kauri carrying time in its grain. But beauty, in her hands, is never decorative. It is bait. You move closer, seduced by the elegance of the thing, and then discover it has been thinking about law, gender, ancestry, sovereignty, technology, the body, and the future all along. ... – Roger Wylie, View Mag.
