Julien Segard’s work explores the severe
edges perpetuated by urban structures, free-
flowing contours of nature’s invasion into
these structures and the shared intimacy
that grow into each other’s spaces. Coming
together as an amalgamation of the natural
and the manmade, the disparate and definitive
lines between the two seem to blur in the
installations. He uses found items from the
city to build his sculptures, scavenged objects
that are repurposed to create a narrative that
furthers his intuitive interpretation of cities that

are appropriating constantly. ‘I like thinking

with my hands and let ideas come to me whilst

I work. I often compare this reworking and

subsequent change in my personality to the

swift change seen in shadows formed by clouds

on waves: naturally, it is difficult to capture or

determine change in something which is never

static. Similarly, to me, human nature is not

permanent and every work of art, and every

experiment, influences me as an artist. On the

other hand, my spirit, in essence, remains the

same, and therefore I remain the same person.’
