life and work
Julia Isídrez was born in 1967 in the city of Itá as the daughter of Juana Marta Rodas and learned traditional female pottery from her mother in the fourth generation in an individual way.
“Rodas 'and Isídrez' works reveal a deeper awareness of function through the radical effect of absence: none of the figures functions as a vessel. In an environment in which ceramics are primarily used to carry water and serve food, they are completely outside of tradition and yet within this tradition they can be understood as aesthetic objects. "
