Milroy is a contemporary still life painter known for painting everyday items such as clothes, shoes and vases in the form of collections. She uses positive and negative space, painting her subjects in formations such as grids, groups, lines, rows and columns, often on plain backgrounds. Sometimes her arrangement of objects are influenced by their functional identity, so that, for example, stamps become islands for the eyes to travel between or wheels speed forward at an unstoppable visual pace.She uses white backgrounds to show that we have very plain lives.
The Way Milroy uses posotive and negative space in her artwork is very clever, also by repeating images and paterns is a clever techneque as it makes the pieces of artwork her own, yet the way the objects stand out upon the crisp white background is a techneque i would like to use while painting although this isn't my style of work i like how clear the objects are.
