Since 1989 Julie Brook has been living and making artwork in remote landscapes in Scotland; Hoy, Orkney; the west coast of Jura; on the uninhabited island of Mingulay and Harris. She has also made sculptural interventions in landscapes further afield; working in Italian and Japanese quarries, different parts of the desert in Central and South West Libya, travelling with Tuareg guides; Syria and NW Namibia, travelling with Himba-Herero guides.
Brook works with the elemental conditions of light, tide, flame, time and site-specific stone. The work and landscapes are captured photographically; digitally and on super 8 film. She says of her work - "When I’m asked about the language of my work, I see it as both a response to my environment, and the expression of the environment’s effect on me. It’s a process, a rhythm which I initiate, but as it gets more involved, it too begins to dictate terms. And I must find a formal language that can express this. Solitude is the heart of the matter. It gives me a sense of inhabiting the landscape."
