BIO

Julianne Piko is a multidisciplinary artist, graduating from the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) in the School of Creative Arts with majors in both 2 and 3 Dimensional art. After many years working as a designer and creative director across various disciplines, Julianne has opened her creative studio in North East Victoria. It is here that she explores materials and theories of deep time and ritual on an intimate scale - of mementos and small shrines, of coveted objects.


Mediums and processes are explored through curiosity and deep driving into the potential of shape, form and texture. The work itself becomes a relic symbolic of the artist's conversation with both materials and ideas. Taking cues from brutalist architecture, physics, anthropology and Lo-TEK Julianne assembles unexpected and opposing materials into neo-ritual assemblages fit for the end of the Anthropocene.
