About Julie
Julie is a contemporary artist experimenting with domestic rubbish. Her main focus is using plastic waste to make unconventional works of art. Transforming and recycling waste packaging into art is of particular importance, highlighting the amount of waste we create, whilst also demonstrating how waste materials can be transformed into other products. Hand intensive techniques such as cutting and stitching are used to add interest and embellishment to these alternative materials. Her most recent work includes wall hangings, quilts, books and other unconventional art objects.

Biography Back to top

Julie is interested in colourful textiles, tapestries and other stitched works. She enjoys creating alternative textiles and artworks through her exploration of found and recycled materials, especially rubbish!

Designs and ideas are generated through observation of the environment, noting colours, shapes and patterns occurring in both nature and architecture.

Her ideas are developed through experimentation and transformation of the materials. Decorative cutting, stitching and hand embroidery are utilised to embellish the work, and to create original and unconventional works of art.
