Statement

Julie Moss’s work hints to a wider narrative, the subjects reflective of much larger social issues. The resulting paintings are a mix of a factual record of a moment in time and an emotional response to being in a particular place. It is in the shift between what is remembered and imagined that the works take shape, a dichotomy of fragility and preservation.

The immediacy and tactility, particularly of oil paints dictates her choice of materials, a factor that is clear throughout her subtle and poetic work. A long and deeply held interest in plants and flowers and love of colour informs her artistic practice.

She strives for an ideal: to make her artwork a bridge to communicate deeply with her audience.
