From Melbourne, Australia. Gilligan graduated in 2012 and has worked for Urban Outfitters, Nasty Gal and many more popular fashion companies. Gilligan primarily works with paint, drawing and collage. She has a very unique style which usually has a child like style. her work mostly presents personal encounters and represents past and future. I like how Gilligan uses contrasting patterns and vibrant colours. With so much content in her work, it makes her art work clustered and busy, the very opposite of John Cage’s work. There also seems to be a humour element in her work, especially with her collage work. When it comes to my own work, I aim to have some sort of negative space, but I would like to try and have no negative space and see the outcome. What would the atmosphere be like? I find Gilligan’s work very loud and fun, where as I find Cage’s calming. it would be interesting to see if I can keep a calming element to my work with no negative space.
