The following installation was developed for Jessica Jane Julius’ solo exhibition “What are you afraid of?” presented at Marketview Arts, York, PA It was shown with an installation of Static and her Saliva Print series.

Between Now and Now was installed in an 2000 foot gallery space. Blacking out the space, the viewer must walk through darkness to come upon the work.

This work was made possible by the generous grant from the Cultural Alliance of York PA and York College.

In between Now and Now, Julius will transform the gallery with her large-scale installation created primarily from millions of tiny glass reflector spheres, traditionally manufactured for use in highway markings. These spheres shine brightly when exposed to light in an otherwise dark environment, creating a luminous effect. Julius’s installation visualizes the notion of complex systems and networks that exist in the world around us. Assembled from a large number of smaller parts, these systems represent the organization achieved in the face of our never-ending drive towards disorganization and chaos. These tangled, reticular structures create an impenetrable dreamscape scenario invoking the passing of time or the erosion of memory. This is the space where we pause and listen.

From the heavens is a work made with flameworked glass, manufactured crystals and gold leaf. Presented at the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia PA. for the exhibition Spacelab.
