playful 2024

​

During the winter of 2021–22 Julia began a series of drawings about the kitchen in Llanerchaeron, a National Trust property in Ceredigion. She has always found domestic spaces inspiring. In 2017 she won the gold medal for Craft and Design at the National Eisteddfod of Wales for Room within a Room, a kitchen made in wire.

​

Recently Julia was drawing in Rembrandt’s house in Amsterdam, his kitchen and studio contained some fascinating objects from his vast collection of artefacts. She was not expecting to see an even larger collection of objects – 71,000 to be exact – on display in Rokin metro station, which had been dug up from the river Amstel. They had been curated and arranged beautifully as you descend the escalators to the platform.

​

For this exhibition Julia has drawn the shards and fragments from the haul and printed them onto her favourite objects from Llanerchaeron and Amsterdam using both enamel and paper surfaces to create new patterns and meanings.
