Lillian Colgan is an artist currently working between Warrang (Sydney) and Boorloo (Perth). Their practice explores the ways that normative social power shapes embodiment and considers how material play can be used to unpack complex feelings surrounding queer and trans identity. By drawing on their personal experiences, Lillian generates multidisciplinary installations typically involving sculpture, textiles, video and/or sound.
