Julia Bland’s large-scale works incorporate painting and weaving, exploring the structures and patterns that combine disparate elements into a whole. Ropes, painted canvas, and fabrics woven by the artist are stitched together, forming boundaries that further bind the work – warp to weft, image to object. The surface is a visible record of Bland’s evolving and multi-faceted process.

Bland utilizes abstraction to negotiate the space between geometry, symbolism, and representation. Shapes emerge – an arrow, a shelter, a canyon, a figure – seemingly familiar, universal, and archaic. While the compositions incorporate structures that imply pure or timeless forms, color and materiality evoke an embodied visual experience. This contrast generates a transient exchange between subjectivity of personal memory and consciousness of the infinite or eternal.
