So thrilled to have had my Artist interview feature and collection of works published, on paper and online, in the 10th edition of Art Etcetera Magazine, ‘Through the Veil: Perceiving Nature Through Art’! I was extremely excited to contribute to this insightful independent resource, especially as the themes of this edition; being nature and consciousness, aligned so well with my own.

It was such a pleasure interviewing with Founder and Editor, Jordan Brinkworth. We had an incredible conversation discussing my creative approach to glass, the philosophies that inspire my own artistic practice and my life!! I admire Jordan’s mission to provide Artists with a constructive, inquisitive platform; thematically inclusive of all mediums and people!

Here’s a little taster…

“For Julia, her glasswork acts as more of a collective mirror than just something to shine through… Julia’s art actively observes how we as individuals often deal with particular emotions that arise in all our lives, and what happens when we don’t… Yet what Julia furthermore highlights is that the bulk of us… live our whole lives on autopilot. In this regard Julia depicts the mental action of ‘breaking through the veil’ into a more heightened state of awareness… something which she implies might be achieved through the likes of submergence or meditation. intriguingly however Julia also points out that such an increased state of awareness isn’t only good for our mental health, but the environment.”
