My name is Jules Hunt and I am a NZ born, Wellington based artist. I have an eclectic range of creative interest's- sculpture, photography, installation, mixed media & bronze work through to marionette making, just to name a few!
Predominately what drives my creative interest as an artist is process and materiality. It takes you on a journey into the unknown, you never know where the process of exploration and discovery will lead you- but most certainly it will be off the beaten track, and I really love that.
Photography is a medium I both enjoy and rely on as an artist, at times it is the only evidence of my work or the discoveries that I make in the process, and at times the image is stronger than the work itself.
I feel I have always struggled with drawing and painting, so I have recently been exploring these areas, experimenting with using non traditional drawing tools and creating materials to read as paint.
I like to participate in opportunities with the public that enable access to the arts and have been involved with many creative projects in the wider Wellington community.
I am inspired and influenced by artists such as Richard Sera, Eva Hesse, Fiona Hall and Louise Bourgeois, all artists inspired by the art of art-making.
