Eyes stare unmoving out into space. Not fixing us, the picture’s viewers, but directly their slightly off-centre gaze towards something else. Almost catatonically blank, the doll’s-eye sidelong gaze which stares out of the picture is a recurrent motif in Julie Nord’s work. Bordered by decoration comprised of fungi, unruly flowers, butterflies and wormy skulls. The work is a species of paraphrase that draws on Lewis Carrol’s Victorian classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland from 1865, in which fantastical but wide-awake metamorphoses provide the main theme. Born in 1970, this artist who lives in Copenhagen.
