On this special episode of Studio Noize brought to you by Print Austin, we go complete print nerd on you! We’re talking with printmaker Julia Curran, who was selected for the Print Austin and Print Sante Fe 5 x 5. Julia’s work deals with the larger social and political phenomena that land in the body, and she has a unique vision for how that manifests. We talk about some of the themes she explores like her Mother Nature monsters, the perils of working as an adjunct professor, and the ways she uses different print mediums. of course, we talk about some specific pieces with her world-class titles and what career change she sees as an addendum to her art practice. All that and more on this print-focused episode. Listen, subscribe, and share!

Julia Curran is a multi-disciplinary artist with a background in the socio-politically conscious tradition of printmaking. Through her experiences dealing with an auto-immune disease from a young age, she has developed a fascination with what it means to be in touch with one’s body in a disembodied culture, our presumption of agency over flesh, and the interconnected health of our internal and shared environments. Recent works feature Mother Nature embodied as a cast of anatomical and anthropomorphic figures such as trees, suns, bones, roots, seedlings, volcanoes, digestive systems, and underground monsters – each perpetuating cycles of life and death, as well as humorous remixes of old myths. Her intricate and precise craftsmanship combines painting, printmaking, and collage; Curran calls for us to look within and around, and to find resilience through celebrating our fleshy, sexual, abject, mortal, celestial, and interdependent nature.
