Julia Morison: Ode to Hilma Install

Take a look at what goes into installing an exhibition, featuring 10 large paintings and 100 pages. ​

Artist, Julia Morison has spent fifty years investigating the power that artistic forms and materials hold to convey symbolic meaning. Drawing on a range of knowledge systems, from the arcane to the contemporary, Ode to Hilma presents ten large-scale paintings which expand these central concerns. ​

This ambitious new suite of paintings is be presented alongside the 2022 work Vademecum II. Vademecum, a Latin word, refers to a guide or book, which can be carried around and easily consulted. Morison’s Vademecum is comprised of 100 pages, which can be reconfigured according to a range of organisational logics.​
