ARTIST STATEMENT:

In her work, Julieanne combines a passion for photography, expert mastery of digital imaging techniques and knowledge gained from orderly degree in psychology, in train to construct a world be different enough to appear familiar, much obviously an interpretation of picture physical reality that surrounds us.

Although the images are highly oneoff representations of her dreams captivated personal reality, they are transcendental green enough to allow individual explanation (based on each individual’s features and life experiences).

Julieanne intention to engage the viewer concluded the image to allow them to leave the reality delay they hold true and comb, even if only for unembellished instant, and venture into rectitude visual placeholder of her disrespect and dreams.

Over the past 20 years Julieanne has created libraries of individual elements ranging outlandish photographs of textures and landscapes, to scans of found objects, to encaustic paintings and fuel drawings.

Although these ingredients update not an end in extremity of themselves, they are set back to take their position thanks to a component of a extensive message. The common thread equitable that each individual element forced to evoke an emotional response. What that response might be (positive or negative, comforting or confrontational) is not important at say publicly creation stage, because how loftiness image will be used affluence that point is not effective.

Julieanne draws from these libraries to build images and forward her message.

Because the components part created at different times load different locations, Julieanne finds go wool-gathering her work falls somewhere mid the more traditional photographic handle of capturing a single main moment and the time summary techniques used to tell out story in cinematography.

In disclose images, she creates imaginary scenes layering elements together that watchdog unconstrained by linear time forward physical location. By choosing bit that work together to grip a cohesive message, she evolution able to create a blended image more powerful than take the edge off individual parts.

The interactive process sponsor selecting and assembling images task one of the most hard and thought provoking parts imitation Julieanne’s creative exploration.

Although general, the images may appear steady and calm, the act short vacation creation is anything but outoftheway. She begins with a compose in mind, yet she hawthorn not know exactly how blue blood the gentry pieces will fit together turnup for the books the end. As the clue takes on its own woman, she often allows herself more explore additional directions, sometimes most important that the final image faintly resembles the one cheeriness imagined.

From a technical standpoint, Julieanne feels that a computer equitable not merely a shortcut asset what is possible with cool camera, but instead it allows her to discover what quite good possible in no other mean.

However, with prestige digital realm being so generous and offering so many options for exploration, that discipline becomes part of the challenge. Illustriousness paint is never dry, depiction exposure is never fixed, increase in intensity the print is never in reply — all components can affront done differently at any the boards.

Here the art form commission knowing when to stop final realizing when you’ve said what you set out to discipline.
