JULIE COCKBURN – ARTIST RESEARCH

Julie Cockburn (born 1966) reimagines found photographs through cutting, embroidering and collaging. Cockburn studied at Chelsea College of Art and Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, and now lives and works in London. She has exhibited extensively in the UK, Europe and the United States and her work resides in a number of public collections, including the Yale Center for British Art (USA) and the Wellcome Collection (London, UK).

Here is some of her work, as you can see she mainly concentrates on manipulating portraits.

I really like her work because its not like any other photomontage. Cockburn shows variety as she works with digital work and work using her hands. I also like how she used vintage and old fashioned style images and manipulating them to produce contemporary pieces of work.
