Trunk approximately 15” in diameter, 2010 Heaven: “The concept of a magical kingdom where earthly limitations no longer exist; where anything is possible.” Perhaps Heaven is a place where trees cut down and used as shipping pallets can bloom again. In my work, broken branches, discarded objects and salvaged shipping pallets come alive and form themselves into giant shapes. These clusters of sentient material have something to tell us about our perception and about our place in the world. They are phenomenon. They hint of new vistas of life and of ancient magical concepts that all things have spirit, memory and mind. Julie Lindell is a Seattle artist educated at Cornish College of the Arts. She has recently finished a residency at the James Washington Foundation in Seattle, and worked as a studio assistant to John Grade during his residency at Pottery Northwest constructing his newest piece, Circuit.
