Madge Gill was born in Walthamstow and spent most of her years living in East London; at the age of 37 she began to draw at night in complete darkness. A self-taught, visionary artist, she created meticulous artworks, many of which she attributed to Myrninerest, her spirit-guide that she came to embody. A landmark exhibition, at the William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow, brings together drawings, newly uncovered large-scale embroideries, textiles and archival objects, many of which have never been exhibited before.
