under construction

Julia Helen Murray is a New York based artist drawing upon a life-long commitment to breaking class and gender boundaries. Through discreet artworks, built environment, and performance, this practice cracks open hidden dynamics of structure, trauma, and healing with particular focus on how these forces play out within family and labor contexts. At its most bold, Murray’s work posits new and unlikely curative potentials targeted at our troubled relationship with work, with those we love, and with ourselves.
