THB recently did a studio visit and interview with Newcastle-based artist, JULIA TRYON and talked about her upcoming site-specific installation at Open Shop's Stairwell Gallery, opening this Friday, January 12, at 6pm.
Julia
Tryon's work often blurs the distinction between photography, sculpture and
painting, through the deconstruction and reconstruction of photographs of the natural world, and of fabricated models she creates in her studio. She investigates the human experience of architectural spaces and explores
the interplay between two and three dimensions as well as the real versus the
imaginary.
Finding
an affinity for painting during her years as a fine art student at Newcastle
University (where she earned her degree in 2008), she was encouraged to
experiment in sculpture and installation, which led her to the work she does
today. Tryon's
installation at Empty Shop shows the traces and fragments of an old Hebridean house encountered on a walk on the Isle of Benbecula.
