Julie Moselen is a metal sculpture artist based in West Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand, recognised for her abstract use of corten steel, gold and bronze.

Family background

Moselen's Cornish upbringing is seen in her works' symbolism.[1] After relocating to New Zealand in 1998, she created her own contemporary jewellery studio whilst simultaneously experimenting with different mediums including printmaking, painting, stone carving and sculpture.[1]

Career

Moselen's artistic career has developed from solely selling handmade contemporary metal jewellery,[2] after completing her Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Metal Craft and Jewellery Design,[1] to exhibiting her metal sculptures throughout New Zealand and the UK, including for NZ Sculpture On Shore and Sculpture on the Gulf, and various private commissions.[1][3] She is now represented by Black Door Gallery.[1] Her practice centres around investigating the portrayal of dualities, incorporating historical references personally significant to her, and attention to detail in the finishing of her works with frequent additions of reflective gold leaf.[4][5]

She is now based West Auckland as a sculptor and resident artist at Corban Estate Arts Centre.[1][3] Additionally she has also been a member of Kumeū Arts Centre.[6] These roles have also allowed her to be tutor in different art mediums for multiple age groups for at least 14 years, including her role as head tutor of 'Alt Arts' for the Alternative Education programme offered by Corban Centre.[2]
