Jules Findley’s practice-based research is in embodied materiality, which during her PhD research led to questioning in-depth areas of emotions around complicated grief and memory using the methodology of affect and repetition in making paper, evolving into paintings, drawings and sculpture. The studio is the home, the domestic environment, used as a source of comfort, where the artefacts are stored instead of food on the shelves. The tools used reside in the kitchen, such as the kitchen blender, cloths for mopping up water. Focusing on fragmentation, layering using the hand in mixing substrates to produce paper, sized with milk and using charcoal mix into a paste with milk to draw and paint from specific burnings to produce the metaphors of paper like skin.
