Julie Light

Julie Light’s creative practice delves into the intersections of body, form and hybridity, whether human or creature. Her work often visualises the nuances of health and disease, exploring how these concepts intertwine in both human and non-human contexts. Using glass as her primary sculptural medium, Julie highlights not only its physical properties but also its capacity to communicate complex ideas.
Collaboration is at the heart of Julie's work. She has partnered with organisations such as The Royal Society, the University of Leeds, AstraZeneca UK, and the National Oceanography Centre, as well as with individuals who have compelling stories to share. Her art has been exhibited in diverse venues across the UK and internationally, including galleries, gardens, museums and hospitals, as well as being recognised as part of competitions such as The Glass Prize and The Aesthetica Art. She is member of the Royal Society of Sculptors and the Contemporary Glass Society.
