Artist in Residence Exhibition

St Julian’s Church

 

For October and November, our artist in residence, Debra Shipley, has created a bowl inspired by the autumnal leaves of the Julian Shrine gardens. Part of her large multi-venue artwork known as 'Bowls in a Fragile World', the 'Autumn Bowl' is focussed on pollution and climate change and the impact this has on the world's poorest. Debra has made the 'Autumn Bowl' from waste paper and packaging collected at the Julian Centre, and incorporated delicate, dried skeletal leaves into the fabric as a reminder of 'the incredible beauty all around us and how fragile it is.'

Displayed alongside the bowl at St Julian's Church is one of Debra's sketch books which shares more of her thoughts and artistic process. Why not come down to the Shrine to take a look? Don't forget to pop into the visitor centre where more artworks are on display, or stay for a coffee and perhaps meet the artist, who is frequently found at the Shrine and always happy to talk about her residency.
 

*The artworks on display at the Julian Centre are offered for sale with all profits going toward the building work needed at the Shrine. Each piece is unique, so when it's gone it's gone!
