Julie Taylor: Fracturescapes
2nd July to 16th August 2013
“I am inspired by the textures, lines and fractures within rock formations. Using colour and sculpted papers, I create an impression of geological landscapes.”
Much of the paper is hand-crafted, with the completed pieces being made from renewable and recycled sources, as well as using metal foils and gold leaf.

Julie trained in Art and 3-Dimensional Design, specialising In Theatre Design, and subsequently worked as a Scenic Artist on productions at Glyndebourne and Covent Garden. Julie now creates art work and runs private weekly classes. She also prepares and delivers school and private art workshops.
Julie has developed a unique style of three-dimensional artwork, and produces hand made, sculpted, paper forms inspired by rock formations, their shifting movements, and their textures. Julie exploits the linear patterns found within different strata, and is especially drawn to the appearance of cross bedding found in weathered sandstone.
Julie has exhibited in galleries in Kent, London, Scotland and California and accepts commissions, her work is scaled to suit domestic and commercial settings.
