Julie Cockburn, born in 1966, is renowned for her intricate handiwork and her ability to transform ordinary and discovered items into works of art. Based in UK, Cockburn masterfully manipulates found objects and images – including ceramic sculptures, paintings, photographs, printed paper, and books – to evoke both novelty and spontaneity.
Having studied at the Central St Martins School of Art and Design and Chelsea School of Art in London, Cockburn defies the commonplace and mass-produced by infusing her personally crafted objects with significance. Her pieces, featuring childish embroidered patterns on discovered photographs and printed images, invite viewers to embark on a journey of artisanship and creation. By playing with the visual perception and consumption of objects, Cockburn’s work challenges the traditional notions of seeing, as showcased through her lighthearted exploration of materials.
