Phyllis McGowan

Phyllis McGowan graduated from Glasgow School of Art with a BA (Hons) in Sculpture and Environmental Art, exhibiting at the RSA and Tatha Gallery in Scotland and the Cello Factory in London, winning the 2018 Ingram Prize. Her writing is featured in A Social Process of Unknowing Yourself in Real Time, edited by Kate Briggs & Laura Haynes. She has been selected for Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2023.

Artist Statement

Phyllis works across writing, sound and moving image, exploring her own containment, narrating the reality in her head that she is unable to voice. She slows down images of women in her films, to see what they might be not saying too, reading her own experiences through their images and asking what living in this state of unreality costs.
