Julie Brook

Ikon Gallery, Birmingham

NOW CLOSED

Pigment

Julie Brook is an artist drawn to landscape, often making outdoor sculptural interventions and film. These take inspiration from the spirit and actuality of their location – be it the Orkney islands, the Hebrides or the Libyan desert – and are thus expressive of personal experience. Brook’s film, shot in a cave in Namibia in 2013, is the outcome of the artist’s unexpected meeting with three Himba women in Otjize, NW Namibia, who invited Brook to collect red pigment with them.
