Together, Julie and Jayrryd, create with the intention to communicate aspects of the human experience. Amplified by technology, and humanized by the body experiencing pleasure, pain, tension, relief, numbness, and exhaustion, the raw elements of physical experience are extracted from socially and politically relevant topics, resulting in work that is colored by the current world situation.
