Walter Jule's prints embody a certain dichotomy between form and movement, and internal and external perception. "I''m interested," he says "in creating an image that seems simultaneously to be in some ways dramatic, in some ways full of certain kinds of tensions and unexpected relationships, but ultimately kind of empty. The tensions don't lead to anything particularly, or the forms that anchor movement are kind of empty or hollow forms . . . I'm really interested in a kind of emptiness that you might initially think would excite a kind of intellectual engagement, but in the end, is really about a kind of stillness."
