ABOUT THE ARTIST

Julie Agnes is a Danish artist living in the mountains of Thailand, working with clay, textile, and found materials in both functional and sculptural form. She has made her home in the East for the past eight years— inspired by its forests, cultures, and living craft traditions.
 

Rooted in contemplative, hand-held processes, wild materials, and years spent observing nature, her practice researches relationship with the natural world, environment, and a deeper self. Drawing inspiration from forms, textures, and intelligence within nature, it considers how objects can carry ritual and memory into the spaces that hold us.

Moving between art and craft, Julie is interested in the role of traditional knowledge and analogue art forms within contemporary art and an increasingly digitalised society. She engages with making as a transformative and environmental practice— a medium for reflection and restoration of ecological identity.
​
Alongside her material practice, Julie has a background in dance improvisation, eco-somatics, and performance. She nurtures ongoing project BODY × EARTH, and co-founded FELT— a seasonal space for somatic practice, research, and art-making.
