  "textContent": "## When fragments begin to behave like bodies\n\n### Julie Wittrup – Textile & Ceramic Practice\n\n**Julie Wittrup** belongs to a generation of artists returning to material intelligence without romanticizing craft. Working between textile and ceramic fragments, her practice treats surfaces as sites where personal iconography and tactile memory intersect.\n\nAcross knitted structures, stitched reliefs and clay elements, Wittrup assembles figures that feel both intimate and slightly estranged. Motifs borrowed from tattoo culture, bodily symbolism and folk-like imagery appear repeatedly.\n\n****Julie Wittrup**** in front of her installation at HAGD Contemporary, curated by Rasmus Peter Fischer. Image courtesy of the artist.\n\nRather than narrating identity, these fragments accumulate into a system of signs that hover between decoration, protection and exposure.\n\n_Echo_ , her first solo exhibition at **HAGD Contemporary**, presents these works within a raw architectural environment where walls, textures and materials resonate with the works themselves. The pieces do not dominate the space. Instead, they punctuate it quietly, forming a constellation of tactile signals that register presence, repetition and transformation.\n\n**Instagram Julie Wittrup**\n**Instagram****HAGD Contemporary**\n\n* * *\n\n## **Works and Exhibition Views**\n\n****Julie Wittrup,**** artwork from the exhibition \"Echo\", HAGD Contemporary, Aalborg, Denmark.
