Julia McKinlay was born in York in 1986. She is currently on the BA Sculpture and Environmental Art course at Glasgow School of Art.
She recently showed work in Project Bloom in Brussels in 2007.
McKinlay’s work has been informed by an interest in natural history, archaeology and botany. She has made work exploring these concerns in sculpture video and print. McKinlay’s piece for Interim consists of a sculptural form derived from the fabric pattern for a cloak, alongside a sinister photograph of this ‘Red Riding Hood’ cloak and a photograph of the cochineal insects used for the dyeing process.
