130 x 200mm, 24 pages, risograph and full colour printing, saddle stitched, 2023 Published on the occasion of her exhibition Clutch, programmed by Lunchtime Gallery at 20 Albert Road, Glasgow (16.12.23 – 07.01.24), Clutch is a collection of poetry and drawings on paper by Julia Gilmour. Gilmour's poems are born from explorations into pop culture, working in and frequenting bars and raves in Glasgow, her personal experience of sobriety, the importance of her queer friends and family, including her uncle who died of AIDS in the 1990s, as well as her experiences of working in the fashion industry. Clutch uses words as another way to draw, experimenting with forms and stylistic choices. Clutch is interested in how we are interwoven with and often beholden to our everyday objects and materials. Julia Gilmour is an artist from Glasgow. She is studying for an undergraduate degree in Scottish Literature and English Literature with a focus on Creative Writing at the University of Glasgow. She has exhibited in the group shows, Pop Girls Run Riot, French Street Studios, Glasgow (2023) and Are you free on Sunday?, Cathcart Road, Glasgow (2022). Published by
