Julie Major studied at the Royal Academy and has exhibited in London, Belgium, germany and Spain. Mixing materials like plaster, resin, felt and steel, her wall-based sculptures are intricately crafted. Hinting at objects we recognize (a pillow, a collarbone, a breast), this is emotionally charged work, a private language of love, longing and separation.
Sculpture where attraction and repulsion, the softness of felt and the sharp barbs of steel talons, co-exist. Moments of symmetry are held poised in a balance, teetering on the edge of breakdown. These sculptures speak of a need for perfection and order, in a world where love turns to hate and attraction invites repulsion.
