Juz Kitson: Unfolding Earth
Juz Kitson鈥檚 sculptures blossom from the ground like ancient relics newly encountered alive. In Unfolding Earth, these sculpted lifeforms鈥攕haped from porcelain, fur, bone, wax, and glass鈥攅cho cycles of rebirth, where objects charged with memory, body, and nature entwine to become the environments we inhabit. Her sculptures are rooted in a deep
curiosity for planetary ecologies that embrace impermanence, where nature is not a backdrop, but an active, breathing presence. The work leaves the viewer with quiet, lingering questions: What shapes our perception? What mirrors the natural cycles we carry within us each day?
The exhibition immerses us in an unfamiliar, intimate terrain where bodies bloom and dissolve. Each element of her work exists in flux鈥攁 threshold: part relic, part ritual. Kitson evokes and expands the spectrum of the feminine and masculine, the wilderness, and the unconscious as interconnected sites of sensual rupture. The title of her new video work resonates throughout the exhibition: 鈥淏eneath the frozen sea, shadows make the light shine brighter.鈥�
Shadows reflect and unfold what lies beneath the surface鈥攍ife shaped through darkness, and the poetic notion of unfolding from deeper ecologies. A current of light and balance flows through the work, allowing these sculptures to come alive鈥攕hifting between stillness and gentle motion from beneath.
