Catherine Mulligan

Overview

Alternately precious and abject, Mulligan’s work draws equally from Western art history and the mediated or vernacular digital image. In her figurative work specifically, Mulligan distorts the typically feminine form in ways that draw from plastic surgery, pornography, and horror films. The end result has a complicated relationship to issues of sexuality, taste politics, and the unconscious.
