Milligan’s work demostrates the formation of identity through influences of history, contemporary society and being, and through spirituality and imagination. His renderings of almost god-like figures suggest dominion over the body and the self.

Feijão’s works are at once intensely personal and deeply poignant, while also suggestive of an infinite but manifestable realm of human potential.
