Description

Inspired by trips to the op shop and thrifted treasures, Minna Gilligan's Collage Kit provides the most extensive collection of creative materials to help you discover the art of collage.

Bespoke illustrations and handpainted backgrounds sit among vintage cakes, blooming flowers, absurd knick-knacks, 60s postcards, abandoned family pictures, wild animals and quirky slogans.

For beginners and artists alike, all you need is a pair of scissors and a glue stick to bring to life the perfect card for a friend, a vision board for your next trip or simply a remarkable collage creation to get lost in. There's no right or wrong, just the absolute chaos of creativity; the possibilities are endless.

Author Bio

Minna Gilligan (@minnagilligan) is Naarm/Melbourne-based Australian artist, working primarily with painting, drawing and collage. Her practice speaks of fleeting, personal encounters with the past and present, and manifests in a tumultuous reconciliation of both. Her works are playgrounds of colour, often referencing 1960s/1970s psychedelia and evoking a nostalgic romanticism.
