Julie Rrap: Body Double | Author: Victoria Lynn

Julie Rrap is a leading Australian artist depicting the female form through her own body. Rrap combines an intellectual framework with a sense of wit and works in sculpture, installation, photography and video in consistently compelling ways.

Rrap's representation of the body is never comfortable. Her human figures are often dissected into parts, distorted, and at times squeezed into the stance of the artist's muse. In her sculptures, the body disappears altogether, as if it has slipped into the negative spaces of solid forms that beg to cradle flesh once again. Rrap combines an intellectual framework with a sense of wit and works in sculpture, installation, photography and video in consistently compelling ways.

Author Victoria Lynn explores Rrap's role as 'the trickster' in her work, how she uses the 'body double', and how she oversteps the limits of bodily representation.
