Julia
Complin
Based in Fife, Julia designs and hand weaves contemporary textile art for interiors in the form of unique wall hangings and framed artwork. In a world that moves at such a fast pace, where machines can make anything, she chooses to work more slowly and to be more present. Each artwork is inspired by hills and mountains, woodlands or rivers, created between the memory and the imagination. These landscapes hold stories from millions of years of history. A heartfelt song and a dance woven in silence. These spaces give us room to breathe and make us feel calm. Julia’s work is about this feeling. Everything in these landscapes exists in a complex interconnected natural world and her textile art interprets this in an abstract way with memorising and immersive patterns. Julia works with her hands with materials and processes that take time. Each artwork is woven in natural, sustainable wool. A living story, slowly crafted handwoven artwork that connects us to the land.
