Chasing Magic

Chasing Magic delves into the intricate relationship between magical thinking, anxiety, and the pandemic, exploring how unsettling events can trigger superstitious behaviours and beliefs in the supernatural. Gillian examines this phenomenon through sculpture, painting and installation, harnessing the power of good luck charms, religious symbolism and the sublime throughout her practice.

Featuring a series of paintings and an eclectic shrine filled with personal relics, Chasing Magic is both a reminder of the inevitability of death and a token of hope, comfort and beauty amid a time of uncertainty.
