About Julia

ARTIST STATEMENT:

In my work, I aspire to the kind of storytelling achieved in dreaming, where a resonant reality is built outside of physical and temporal logic. Each piece illustrates a single moment of conscious existence by layering symbolism, drawing from diverse, sometimes deliberately clashing cultural artifacts.… more

Warrior Series

*Please click on full image for a larger, sharper photo. Initial images appear slightly blurred.

The constant pursuit in creating images: How to preserve one moment in life as a totem, that speaks to you across time and culture, to bring you back to that spot that in reality has instantly disappeared. A dream-like recording pulling from sometimes incongruous things to achieve that. In this series it's about a woman moving through life, honoring the moments that it takes to create a path. In personal battle, in repose, in creation, in burning down and starting again.

Beasts

This series came out of and extended perior of travel and the balance between fascination with, and discomfort with, being out of my element. I use beasts to attempt to represent a consciousness within its own mental environment, not exactly a person, not exactly an animal, of no particular gender, age, race... simply a being.
