Minna Gilligan works primarily with painting, drawing and collage to create colour-filled, psychedelic-inspired worlds with twisted, melted, and distorted forms often occupied by a lone female protagonist caught in an acid trip of longing, sadness, or exhalation. Her graphics and visual depictions are mesmerising, addictive, leaving us wanting more.
Over the years, Gilligan has extended her. Art Almanac speaks with the Naarm/Melbourne-based artist about stretching the term “artmaking”, and the practicalities of an art career outside of making art.
