Julie Harrison Artist Statement "I have long been inspired by nature and that part which is unseen — as metaphor, as subject, as medium. My fascination with biology was enhanced when introduced to scanning electron microscopic images. This led me to learn about local phytoplasma and create drawings based on this research. My methods of creating are improvisational. I cut, combine, paste and draw onto found and re-photographed images of bacterial and viral particles, organs, brain activity and my own biomorphic abstractions which overlap and float in space to evoke imagined worlds, seemingly lit from within where I can escape and allow others to do the same. As an artist, I play with the idea that new organisms might combine and form relationships with one another. What if we could combine the good (virus) with the bad (virus) and coexist together? For example, what if SARS-CoV-2 could form relationships with our immune system, with white blood cells, and get along? Love each other and even thrive together? These extant cohabitations are the inspiration for the biological universes I create on paper. I frame and rearrange images of these disparate organisms in surreal ways that can seem unexpected and disorienting." - Julie Harrison
