SEPT. 20 | A walk with Myfanwy Gullifer through her exhibition

On Saturday SEPTEMBER 20 from 11:30am, please join us at King Street Gallery on William for an informal exhibition tour and talk with ceramicist Myfanwy Gullifer.

KSGoW would like to invite you to walk with Myfanwy Gullifer through her current exhibition And Then The Sun Came Out on Saturday September 20, for an informal artist talk. Please join us at the gallery from 11:30am for an informal exhibition talk and tour through her show.

Trained in the dramatic arts, she began making sculpture after working in the theatre. Myfanwy has been exhibiting for close to twenty years, both within Australia and internationally.
Self-taught, she works with clay, textiles, and paper to make ceramic sculptures and large scale installations.
Myfanwy’s work explores memory and the imagination, the sensual and sexual life of the body, domesticity, motherhood, exuberance and disappointment, anger and love.

"There is a joy in the making of things. The connection that the hand has to the material that somehow connects to the imagination, emotion and memory. I draw from what is around me, the day to day, visual cues, things that pique my curiosity, give me a thrill or squeeze my soul. There is always somewhere to explore in my head and my heart, it makes sense of who I am. And then Sun Came Out is a continuation of that exploration of finding more of me, of striding out, feeling free, stronger, walking my walk"
- Myfanwy Gullifer, 2025

About the Artist:
Myfanwy Gullifer graduated from the Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne in 1989.
Her work has been exhibited at the Melbourne Art Fair, the Korean International Art Fair and various regional gallery shows such as Interconnected at New England Regional Art Museum, 2022; Paint my place at Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery, 2016; and In [two] Art at Maitland Regional Gallery, 2012, which toured across New South Wales.

In 2019, Myfanwy was a finalist in Still: National Still Life Award at Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery, and in 2016, the same gallery awarded her the Artist in Residence at Moonee Beach.

Her work can be found in various public and private collections from across Australia, such as the New England Regional Art Gallery, Tamworth Regional Gallery, the Laverty Collection and the Open-Air Gallery, Walcha, where she lives and works. Notably, in 2010, Newcastle Art Gallery acquired two of her sculptures on behalf of the Les Renfrew Bequest, which were subsequently exhibited in Clash: Contemporary Sculptural Ceramics at Newcastle Art Gallery.

King Street Gallery has represented Myfanwy since 2012. Myf's 2025 solo exhibition ‘And Then The Sun Came Out’, showcases a new series of porcelain works and soft sculptures. On display until September 20.

Myfanwy Gullifer is an accomplished ceramicist and textile artist whose work is at once cheeky, irreverent, provocative and very very clever. Gullifer’s subversive use of humour often masks a cutting insightfulness into life, but she is also generous with doling out the irrepressible joy contained within her objects… But don’t be so dazzled as to not observe the nuance always present. There are hints of frustration and poignancy balancing the bright colours and happy forms.
