Julia Lucey: Forest for the Trees Exhibition Opening

Julia Lucey revers nature. With arches and a pre-raphaelite attention to detail in this body of work, Lucey presents nature as sacred. Her process of collaging aquatint etchings allows each plant or animal to be meticulously depicted and elevated to the symbolic. She has taken inspiration from fables and woven them into what otherwise could be seen as solely scientific native plant etchings, emphasizing the wonder embedded in the natural.

An opening reception will be held on January 19 from 4 to 7pm in Wally Workman’s upstairs gallery in conjunction with PrintAustin 2019.
