Julia Gutman is a multidisciplinary artist living and working on unceded Gadigal Land.

Julia reuses found textiles to produce ‘patchworks’ that merge personal and collective histories with canonical paintings to explore themes of femininity, intimacy and memory. The work is made almost entirely out of clothing worn and donated by the artist’s friends and family; their personal traces imbued in each piece of textile becomes a significant thematic constituent. With each stitch, both nurture and rupture occur – the process is as tender as it is aggressive.
