Water Jewels …
Sparkling on a spiderweb as the sun rises and blesses the new day. Each strand of the web has its load of dew drops and the entire web sagged with the burden. Yet it did not break. What an architect!

Collage! Printmaking! Sculpture!
Julie has it all displayed on her studio walls.
Separating the adjoining studio from hers is a curtain/banner of Joseph Cornell working in his studio. Her work references his.
The beautiful. delicate sculpture incorporates the hair of a friend, feathers, and found objects.
Collage and printmaking are combined.
The artist statement Julie has on her website ( www.julienelsongal.com ) talks of her lifelong interest in photography.
Human habits, memories, and how objects communicate their former functions inform her work. Of course, the objects must also have aesthetic potential to be included in her combined collage/printmaking work. A keen intelligence is at work here!
