Thesis Exhibition









Artist Statement: Julia Jalowiec opens a portal to environments and humanity, both unseen and invisible, through her sculpture and installations. Their prior imagined existence does not negate the realness of their new physicality in which Julia explores the idea of “the larger community.” She often addresses what it means to deal with the lines of relationship whether by sociopolitical constructs, familial bonds or those of friendship. In a life filled with her own illness and the loss of those around her, Julia’s work employs both humor and the grotesque as a way to meditate on her own mortality.
