My wood sculptures are visual notations, referencing interests in Asian textiles and non-traditional quilt-making, as well as abstract patterns derived from maps, the urban landscape, and architectural structures around the world. Combining these influences, I use repetitive and minimalist patterns with both raucous color and muted tones to build artworks uniquely expressive of my world view.
Blending earth stewardship and frugality, I use salvaged wood whenever possible.
The surfaces of my creations are assembled in the manner of wood inlay, and often built in multiple layers.
Julia is originally from the East coast, but has lived in Seattle, WA since 1993.
