Photography Book Release for The First Draft

Come get your copy of The First Draft and meet photographer Rich Gilligan. The book is an artistic homecoming to the roots of Gilligan's creative journey that offers a contemplative look at the themes of belonging, identity, and coming of age in suburbia featuring essays by Ken Grant & Sue Rainsford. It revisits Gilligan's early projects created around Blanchardstown in Dublin which are presented as non-sequential vignettes exploring the complex relationship we often hold with the places that shape us, inviting audiences to experience a dialogue between past and present, where transient moments explore the process of coming of age. Each photograph, whether revisiting past work or presenting fresh perspectives, serves as a personal yet universally resonant meditation on how our environments shape our outlooks and identities.
