Julie Moon’s journey into ceramics unfolds with captivating depth. From an early curiosity for materials to an unexpected shift from textiles to clay, her story reveals a process led by intuition and a love for experimentation. Julie’s vibrant use of ornamentation, patterns, and striking colours, paired with her unique take on human forms, offers a fresh perspective that challenges traditional views in the world of ceramics. In this conversation, she discusses her inspirations, particularly her fascination with natural elements like fruits, flowers, and other everyday objects, which bring new layers of symbolism to her practice.
As for upcoming exhibits, Julie is currently part of the group show “Elaborate” at Harbourfront Centre, which runs until December 29th. In the new year, she will be featured in a two-person show with Kate O'Connor at Hunt Gallery and will also have a solo show titled “Fruits” in one of the gallery spaces at the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery.
