'The First Draft' is an artistic homecoming, bringing internationally influenced work back to the roots of Rich Gilligan's creative journey and offers a contemplative look at the themes of belonging, identity, and coming of age in suburbia. The book 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.

Featuring essays by Ken Grant & Sue Rainsford
