Juliette Bigley MRSS

Juliette is a sculptor who uses metal to explore how we experience our emotional and physical place in the world, and how we negotiate the interface between the physical world that surrounds us and the intangible worlds of emotion, belief, thought, language and memory. Her work is abstract and uses conjunctions of geometric forms, often comprises groups of objects or pieces with which an audience can interact. She trained at The Cass School of Art gaining BA (Hons, First Class) and a research MA (Distinction). Degrees in both English Literature, and in Philosophy complement her metalwork.

Juliette has exhibited nationally and internationally including Design Miami, ArtGeneve, Tresor Contemporary, London Art Fair, and Collect, where she won the prize for Collect Open in 2018. She had her first solo exhibition at The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh in 2019. She has work in the Victoria and Albert Museum, Goldsmiths’ Company Collection, and the Irish State collection, and has received funding from the Arts Council England Grants for the Arts Programme.

Juliette has extensive speaking experience, both live and on podcasts, including talks at the V&A, Collect, London Art Fair, Tresor, the London Design Festival, and Grant Gibsons’ podcast Material Matters. She has been featured in, amongst others, CRAFTS Magazine, the Evening Standard and the FT’s How to Spend It.

Juliette collaborates with Simone ten Hompel as Mixed Metals, a platform for research into making, and for the promotion of sculptural metalwork. She is a member of the Royal Society of Sculptors, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. Juliette produced her first publication, Material Perspectives, in 2018, and is represented by Cavaliero Finn.
