                                    Born 1952, Pahiatua, New Zealand. Based Christchurch, New Zealand.Julia Morison’s ongoing practice — incorporating painting, sculpture, photography and installation — is consistently underpinned by a complex symbolic system. Her vocabulary is inspired by esoteric and spiritual sources such as Hermeticism, the Kabbalah, alchemy and memory systems. Morison’s work has come to represent her own intellectual order through an interweaving of symbol, material and philosophy; re-interpreting or reviewing for a contemporary context. Morison’s work invites us to reflect on the ways structures manipulate the way we see things, with her interpretations offering a metaphor for other such systems and encourages us to consider systems themselvesJulia Morison has exhibited extensively within New Zealand and internationally for over three decades. She has been the recipient of many key awards, grants and residencies. Graduating first with Diploma in Graphic Design from Wellington Polytechnic School of Design, Massey University she then gained a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours from the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts in 1975. In 1988 she was awarded the Frances Hodgkins Fellowship and in 1990 she undertook the Möet and Chandon contemporary art residency in Avize, France, which subsequently became her home for the next ten years. In 1999 Morison returned to Christchurch and was appointed Senior Lecturer in painting at the University of Canterbury. In 2005 Morison received a New Zealand Arts Foundation Laureate Award and in 2012 she was inducted into the Massey University Hall of Fame. Her exhibition Meet me on the other side showed at the Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu and Wellington City Gallery in 2012, and at Two Rooms Gallery, Auckland, in 2012.
