Julia Adelgren @ Mamoth

Taking its title from Yuko Tsushima’s story of the same title, Julia Adelgren’s exhibition. The Watery Realm, uses water as a poetic protagonist, and chimes with the more folkloric events of Tsushima’s story. Her work hones in on the interplay of light and reflection on the surface of water, whilst rendering water as a perpetually unknowable body, enveloping, sometimes threatening, but offering transportive possibilities.

The works on display possess a distinctly nocturnal colour palette. Presenting a world of variable light and shadow.
