Mars in particular includes horn. Weight is approximately 2 lbs. Julia Condon spent her early childhood in India, surrounded by color and decorative art, and she was educated in England. She attended Chelsea and Central School of Art (now Central St. Martin’s) where she received her BA in Fine Arts, after which she moved to New York. Working as an artist’s assistant and making money as a young portraitist, Julia honed her experience with technique and slowly accumulated a large body of work consisting of still lives and portraits. In the mid-1990s, the artist reached into three dimensional expression with large, web-like mobiles of blown glass and crystals. Their floating patterns are used to represent the shifting mirrors of creation, both within and beyond; the mobiles have been exhibited throughout Europe and in the United States, and are currently represented in the galleries Sansum Fine Arts in New York City and Obsolete in Los Angeles. Julia now lives in Cornwall, England.
