ABOUT
 

Julie Agnes is a Danish artist living in Northern Thailand since 2022, continually shaped by the region's deep nature, Buddhism, and living craft traditions. Her work brings together a Scandinavian sensibility for form with a decade of living, learning, and working across Asia.
 

Agnes' practice moves across clay, textile, and found material. Rooted in contemplative processes, material research, and years of observing nature, it explores the relationships between people, nature, and material, and the sense of ritual they share.

​

Drawn to ecological and geological forces, she forages materials such as clay, stone, plant fibre, and straw, and find ways to work with them through sustained conversation and research. 
 

Agnes is interested in the role of natural materials and traditional crafts within contemporary art, space, and culture. She engages with making as a transformative and environmental practice, reflecting on ecological forces, and the futures we are making.
 

Alongside her material practice, she enganges with writing and photography.
