Julia LaBay: Space & Construct(ion)
A multimedia exhibition reframing the common tool in uncommon ways
Julia LaBay’s multimedia series explore the symbolism and significance of common hand tools. Through her Tools Series of monoprints, Constructed Space Series of wood sculpture, Tool Impressions Series of bas relief aluminum screening, Printed Space Series of abstract edifices and her Retired Tools Series of bronze and found objects, LaBay creates captivating compositions that present the viewer with a unique perspective on the symbolic role and usefulness of hand tools—comprising a curated collection of traditional and conceptual artworks.
As an art and construction skills educator, LaBay works to remove the perceived exclusivity of construction tools and empower young women with access to this skillset.
The exhibit continues through March 21, 2026.
