Biography

Julia Morgan-Leamon is a painter and video installation artist from the USA. Her work examines gestures of figures as they move through time and space. She asks what happens when one moves from a safe and familiar place into the strange and unfamiliar? Is there a conceptual boundary that is crossed, or a chasm that is bridged? To practice respect and tolerance for difference in peoples, religions, neighborhoods, and countries is to cross boundaries. Learning another’s language and practicing writing the strange letters of another’s alphabet over and over is a gesture of reaching beyond the familiar.
