JULIE RRAP
b. 1950, AustraliaJulie Rrap has been a major figure in Australian contemporary art for over three decades. Since the mid-1970s, she has worked with photography, painting, sculpture, performance and video in an ongoing project concerned with representations of the body. She has responded to studies on the development of cancer cells by creating moulds of her breasts using frozen milk, and then photographing her breasts and placing the frozen moulds on top of those images. This is an example of her exploration of the relationship between science and art, and how, from her position as an artist, she can bring to our attention serious medical issues.
