Tutu designed by Julie Moon on behalf of Narwhal Art Projects

Julie Moon was deeply inspired by pristine, wintery landscape for her piece. The tutu is embellished with floral and geometric elements made from porcelain in a variety of wintery whites. The fragility and delicacy of the porcelain represents the cold, winter season and punctuates the crisp and fleeting movements of the body in dance. The tutu pays homage to the wonders of winter and celebrates the delicacy and delight of the ballet.
