“Julia González represents a position that integrates the potter’s wheel and the sculptor’s workbench, joining them together in a quest for distinct, original forms that might supersede those alredy known and tested. Clay is no longer the possibility of achieving a polished surface on which to proclaim the virtues of painting a medium which, among our arts, absorbs everything it touches, too much so at times – but a valuable material in itself, with something worth appreciating in its plasticity and texture. Julia thus exorcises all the myths of ceramics, and manages to balance roughness and smoothness, weight and lightness, fragility and strength. It is a subtle balance, which embraces an elegant organic vitality.”
