Juz Kitson’s sculptures blossom from the ground like ancient relics newly encountered – as if alive. In Unfolding Earth, these sculpted lifeforms – shaped from porcelain, fur, bone, wax, and glass – echo cycles of rebirth, where objects charged with memory, body, and nature entwine to become the environments we inhabit. Kitson’s sculptures are rooted in a deep curiosity for planetary ecologies that embrace impermanence, where nature is not a backdrop, but an active, breathing presence. 

Shadows reflect and unfold what lies beneath the surface – life shaped through darkness and the poetic notion of unfolding from deeper ecologies. A current of light and balance flows through the work, allowing these sculptures to come alive – shifting between stillness and gentle motion from beneath.

Juz Kitson (b. 1987) holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) in Ceramics from the National Art School in Sydney and has undertaken residencies across China, Europe, and Australia. Her work has been exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally, including major exhibitions such as Primavera at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney (2012), and the Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art (2016). She has presented solo and group exhibitions in Dubai, Singapore, and throughout Australia. Her work is represented in numerous public and private collections, including the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of South Australia, and the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA).
