LILLIAN O'NEIL
b. 1985, AustraliaThe theme of love and the investigation of the creation of emotional narratives through a process of collection and assessment is central to Lillian O’Neil’s work. She uses monumentally-scaled collage to explore possibilities of accumulative autobiography and is interested in the way aggregated images compress time and history.
Lillian O’Neil’s billboard, Moon Lovers, commissioned by the Centre for Contemporary Photography, Melbourne, for the CCP/City of Yarra Billboard, is on display until February 2014. O’Neil has been awarded numerous grants including those from the Australia Council for the Arts, Arts Victoria, Melbourne City Council, the Besen Foundation and traveling awards from both Monash University and Sydney College of the Arts, The University of Sydney. She will be having a solo show at The Commercial Gallery, Sydney in 2014.
Her work is held in the Anne and Gordon Samstag Museum of Art, Adelaide, and private collections in Sydney, Melbourne, London and New York.
She compled a Master of Fine Art at Sydney College of the Arts, The University of Sydney, with an Australian Postgraduate Award supervised by artist, Mikala Dwyer.
