While many of the objects Julia creates are designed to convey a sense of motion, flow and harmony, this blue ceramic shell-like form has been deliberately made to express a static state. The hook-like features oblige the piece to stay in one position, while the tilt suggests a tension in which movement is difficult but not impossible.

When looking at this circular ceramic form, the eye is first drawn to the exterior before being led inwards, giving one a sense of being dragged into the centre of a whirlpool. We cannot see the end of the path nor guess what is on the other side; perhaps it just goes on and on in an infinity loop. Julia’s ceramic work is a symbol of the circles of life and the many repetitions and recurring processes which resemble each other and take place everywhere, every day.

Still, clear and meditative, this ceramic sculpture leads one’s gaze progressively to the centre through different framed segments. Some segments seem to grow, while others appear to shrink. The clockwise circles represent an outward opening, the counterclockwise an interior tension, reflecting the search for inner balance.

This ceramic piece was inspired by the sea. It is not a reflection of one aspect in particular but of marine micro-organisms in general. The result is an imaginary creature.

This ceramic piece represents a growing, living structure. It was inspired by thoughts around the will to live as well as power, longing and desire for growth. Parts of the sculpture refer to the human anatomy, some male, some female.
