Julia Belmore
Belmore’s sculptures are uncannily familiar, transforming everyday objects to new forms,.
Artist statement
Through her practice the artist calls attention to the relationship between our lives and the built environment, exploring personal and collective memory tied to familiar forms. Often working with themes of discovery, particularly through the lens of Chinese Canadian history, the experiences of mixed-race individuals, and the complex dynamics of diaspora and cultural disconnection. Working primarily with metal and fibres, using welding, casting, and felting techniques to create material tensions.
