About the artworkJulia Bondesson’s primary focus is wood sculptures and performance art. She graduated from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm and has also studied hand puppetry in Taiwan and art in Japan and Thailand. A regular feature in her works is bodies and body parts charged with beauty and gloom. Like several of Bondesson’s other sculptures, Feet is at once both carefully and roughly hewn and carved. Gently, her works take possession of the gallery space, like seemingly passive entities awaiting activation and interaction. Bondesson is inspired by Chinese philosophy and tactile learning, where active interplay between the senses and the physical body is the focus of human development.
