Julia Morison

A DigitalNZ Story by Sienna Latham

Born in 1952, Pahiatua native Morison's artwork incorporates and interrogates symbols derived from Hermeticism, cabala, alchemy, knotwork and mnemonic systems, interweaving and interpreting their meanings in a contemporary context. Her most recent work explores the aftermath of the earthquakes in Christchurch, where she lives and lectures on art.
