Julianne Harvey

Julianne Harvey Artist Statement, Through fairy tales, surrealism, and magic we are able to toy with the nature of reality. In my work the power of images inheres to their ability to reflect and define reality in contradictory ways. My objective is to utilize symbols to visually discuss the nature of thought as malleable and changing according to the lens through which we view it. Many of the images I work with have an historical reference that I juxtapose with images from present culture. My current work combines opposing concepts about animals: cultural perceptions and scientific knowledge. I seek to pose questions to the viewer by means of layered imagery. The meanings that humans have historically ascribed to animals, acknowledgement of their consciousness, the roles they play in our lives, and how they have all changed over time. Symbolic, aesthetic, scientific, and historic aspects of animals create an intersection for ideas which inform the sculpture I create.
