exhibition essay by Rose Bouthillier

Julie Oh’s artistic practice considers found objects as powerful vessels for the human experience: mortality, labor, faith and freedom. The Saskatoon-based artist works from the realm of the everyday, initiating a period of sustained engagement with collected materials. Oh works instinctually by allowing the installation of objects to each hold space within the gallery, offering an entanglement of conceptual readings that address the aura of their presence.

Julie Oh will be the Kenderdine Art Gallery artist-in-residence for the month of May, followed by the opening of her solo exhibition.
