Julia Forte

My creative practice draws on my interest in anatomy and a desire to reveal the innate forms and hidden beauty of our essential structural form.

My work takes two separate approaches to anatomy. First, to explore and illustrate anatomical structure, exposing the complexity and beauty that exists in our internal architecture. Second, drawing on laws of ‘divine proportion’, to explore and expose the geometric harmony present in the structure of bones and cells.
