In her etchings, Julia Ludwig explores, documents and develops her view of landscape and space in the broadest sense. She has long been involved with different etching techniques, particularly aquatint and mezzotint, which she uses to bring out varying perceptions of the same subject. Thus, perception itself is her theme, and the viewer is encouraged to see the things around us as infinitely unfinished, uncertain, or more precisely- as alive. This print is part of a series of works depicting the hands of her grandmother, who is now 95 years old. Knowing her hands very well over the years, they seem like a second face, marked by hard work and care. Items like her blouse and also the tiny watch are very familiar to the artist. She sits at a table where she read to the artist and her siblings when they where children, did puzzles with them and took the meals. Thus, in the broadest sense, it is not only a picture about her grandmother, but also about the passage of time. A graduate of Burg Giebichenstein in Halle, Germany, with a diploma (2009) and a Meisterschüler degree (2011). Her work is shown worldwide, including at the International Print Center New York (IPCNY) and is represented in various museums, including the Lindenau Museum Altenburg, as well as in numerous private collections
