Julie Nagle is an American sculptor. She earned her B.F.A. from the Cooper Union School of Art in 2004 and her M.F.A. in sculpture and extended media from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2009. Nagle explores the intimate relationships between ancestry, mortality, animism, and transcendent mediation through making, and the expansiveness of the universe through delicately balanced sculptures. She uses archaeological methods to excavate her personal heritage and question her own mythology, beliefs, and identity. Her current work melds analytic investigations of specific sites with deeply personal narratives.
