Julia Turner : Notation
Jewelry / Wall pieces
Condensed Show July 1-31, 2010


In her new work artist Julia Turner renders relationships as landscapes, and experiences as wordless text.  Scraped steel and painted wood provide the backdrop for "snapshots" or isolated samples of conflict, warmth, confusion, pleasure and doubt.  By inviting elements of chance into an otherwise highly restrained way of working, she is exploring competing impulses directly through her experience in making the work. 

Julia has been a studio artist for 15 years. During this time she has created a highly diverse body of work including art jewelry and custom pieces as well as a limited production collection.  She has traveled and exhibited internationally and participated in symposia and residencies across the US and Europe.

Something About Love: A Three-Part Affair

2. Jewelry/ Sculpture by: Anna Adair . Curtis Arima . Sarah Davis . Nick Dong . Karen Gilbert . April Higashi . Maya Kini . Chris Neff . Jaydan Moor . Tina Rath
3. Tokens of love borrowed from Bay Area Residents

 
Ace Lehner: Photo Diptych
     
As part of our human experience, we engage in the emotion of love in a variety ways. Though represented by one word in the English language, the term love is a stand in for a multitude of meanings, constantly contracting and expanding as societal norms regarding family, friendship and intimacy are defined and re-defined. Something About Love: A Three Part Affair responds to our tendency to group this multitude under one title and embraces a complex rather than singular representation. Approaching its concept from three artistic directions, Something About Love features photographic work by Ace Lerner, jewelry/sculpture with various artists, and personal belongings gathered from Bay Area artists and residents.
