COLLAGE MANNEQUINS
2022 has seen Julie working on 3 full sized fashion mannequins to create collage sculptures.
The first one titled “Flo” was created for a joint exhibition titled “Beyond the Page” at Loft 275 Gallery, Ivanhoe Library & Cultural Centre. This exhibition was in February, 2022 with fellow artists Helen Platania and Deborah Bowen.
Flo represents every woman from every culture and of every age. The exhibition coincided with International Womens’ Day and this work was a tribute to that day. Flo was purchased and is in a private collection of her new owner.
The latest two works were created for a Thou Art Mum exhibition titled “Nature’s Story” held at The Barn Gallery, Montsalvat, Eltham. These mannequins are titled “Gaia” -Goddess of Nature and “Amphitrite” - Goddess of the Sea. Exhibition dates were 20 October - 13 November, 2022.
“Gaia” has recently been purchased and is in a private collection of the new owner.
“Amphitrite” is available for purchase, please contact Julie directly through the link on this website.
A variety of papers and images were used to create these artworks, sourced from Julie’s collection of books, magazines, printed papers and ephemera.
Keep a close watch as there will be future works to add to this series.
