Jillian's Art: Where Rationality Meets Memory and Body

So structure in some way- and logic belongs in that field- the way that we can describe, whereas the imagination side of it is more a performative response that is more impulsive and like a connection, I suppose, between mind and body and materials that I'm working from.
What happens when you mix rationality, memory, body, context, and experimentation in art? You get the fascinating work of Jillian, an Australian artist based in London. In this episode of 'Born to Create', host Maria-Katharina Richters chats with Jillian about her unique approach to art and the intricate layers that define her minimal, abstract paintings. Jillian's work captures the ever-changing nature of perception, offering a stillness that contrasts with the chaos around us.
Growing up in Australia with a complex family history, Jillian's experiences have deeply influenced her art. She delves into historical and contemporary ideas of origins, lineage, and place, creating connections that are both thought-provoking and visually captivating. Jillian's research often bridges the gap between stories, landscapes, philosophy, and biology, making her work a rich tapestry of ideas and influences.
This episode is a deep dive into how context shapes our perception and the importance of truly seeing what's in front of us. Whether you're an artist or just someone who appreciates creativity, Jillian's journey offers valuable insights and inspiration. Tune in to discover how art can be a powerful tool for understanding and healing.
