Julia Elsas

Julia Elsas was born in Birmingham, Alabama and lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Julia’s art practice encompasses ceramics, printmaking, installation and performance. Julia’s most recent three-dimensional work grew out of her ongoing exploration of the sonic potential of clay. She considers her sculptures to be fully realized only when they are being played. In pursuit of activating her sculptures with sound, Julia started SONIC MUD, a band of professional musicians that showcases her ceramic instruments. In addition to her multi-disciplinary art practice, she has a line of functional ceramic sculptures for the home that she established in 2016.
