Julia Sharpe works in 16mm film, video, and writing. Her work engages fragments of personal narrative, landscape and liminality to render affective sites of the mundane in the rural American South. She holds a BA from the University of Virginia (2012).
“Susan Howe writes: “How do I…pull SHE from all myriad symbols and sightings of HE?” Insomnia smear / vocal effete / bone wall / which pore? / whose fist? / petrify temper / scar water / wood digest / this sacrilege / you’re just playing house. I posit that we might pull SHE from HE by engaging syntax as a technology for vocalizing and rendering the invisible SHE. By syntax I mean the method that associates two or more abstractions––ideas, words, images. I explore this possibility through language and moving image constructions that interrogate, re-write and re-imagine their own narrative forms.”
