DESCRIPTION

Julia Fullerton-Batten’s In Between series portrays teenage women literally suspended between childhood and adulthood. Her subjects appear to be floating as if an unknown force has taken hold of them, pointing to an emotional unsettledness that can accompany this age and its attending sense of powerlessness. Set amongst polished domestic interiors, these individuals appear as an anomaly, awkward and out of place. For this series, Fullerton-Batten worked with young dancers who would be able to achieve the difficult poses, but who were untrained as models.
