Julia Sherman

Artists

Julia Sherman mines folk traditions, canonical art history, feminist theory
and a range of personal anxieties to create tableaus of fantasy, philosophy
and interrogation. Her formal compositions and finely wrought images cannot conceal her
attraction to the homemade, the experiment and the discovery.

Although documented in photographs and video, Sherman’s work must be
understood as performance and is often translated best through elaborate
installations.

In recent work, Sherman reflects on artifice and entertainment in the film
industry, the theatre and pornography.
