Notes

Julie Lluch once again describes and defines her philosophy and spiritual persuasion in her new solo exhibit. “In the Fullness of Time,” she says, “Conforms with the fact that work will soon be through, all in God’s perfect time, and purpose, too!” Four out of the 15 or so artworks are major pieces grouped under the title “Kairos,” and ancient Greek word which means the right or opportune time…. the title piece, “Kairos 1,” modelled by Kiri (her youngest daughter) is Lluch’s statement for the whole show. It shows a woman with a book sleeping on a burning couch.” …(she) is frozen in earthly “Cronos: (Greek for sequential time.) -Alma Cruz Miclat For the first time, she (Julie Lluch) uses cast marble as a medium, one that she’s just getting acquainted with — its character and behavior. “It is strong, beautiful and lovely to touch, but it is a difficult medium. When working in marble, I am completely dependent on air, tools, grinders, routers and yards of sanding materials. To be appreciated, marble must be made as smooth as can be…. Despite the sensuous qualities inherent in the forms and set pieces Julie has conceived, as a passionate Christian has resolved a person signification of the act of worship — “as every action or work we do to please and thank God, such as gardening, or cleaning house etc.” And fire is an essential element or worship. -Alfred “Krip” Yuson JULIE LLUCH AND THOSE WOMEN IN FIRE…Fire, of course, is representative of many things: an element of cleansing and purgation, an act of transformation, and most notable in Lluch's case “the presence of God…” No work conveys this idea, much stronger than the title piece, which is reminiscent of Bernini’s “Ecstasy Sta Teresa.” Just like the saint, the figure is being transformed in front of our eyes. While no “arrow of love” pierces her, she holds a book (presumably the Holy Bible) close to her bosom as tongue-like flames emeries from the couch. Eyes and mouth closed, she flown deep inside herself, in a place where earthly forces hold no dominion, divine sweetness working into every stand of being. -Carlomar Archangel Daoana
