Julee Latimer
Based in Melbourne, Julee Latimer holds a BFA in Sculpture and Painting from Curtin University (2019). A finalist in several major art prizes, her work is held in private and public collections in Australia and internationally.
Latimer transforms paint from a liquid application into a tactile material. Once poured and dried, she cuts it into threads, which are woven into organic, rippled forms. The process is labour-intensive yet intuitive, balancing structure with improvisation.
Having lived and moved across countries, her practice is shaped by the experience of relocation and adaptation. Ideas of disruption, repair and reconfiguration sit quietly within her work.
Through an expanded approach to paint, her practice contributes to ongoing discourse around material transformation, process-driven making, and the evolving boundaries of contemporary art.

My work inhabits the space between textile, painting, and sculpture, where threads of paint ripple, intertwine, and float without support. Patterns emerge, dissolve, and reappear, resisting order and expectation. Irregularities and subtle ruptures result in a tactile creation that feels familiar yet defies categorisation.
Disruption drives the work: tension flickers between presence and absence, continuity and fracture. The weave unfolds according to its own rhythm, revealing beauty in unexpected places.
Unapologetically in-between, Losing Touch offers a quiet rebellion against predictability. It invites viewers to encounter material and form on their own terms, revealing how anomaly, irregularity, and imperfection can create resonance, rhythm, and surprise.
