Julie Plantecoste






Julie Planetcoste's theme was autobiographical. As the daughter of parents raised on different continents and who herself has lived in many different countries Julie's memories are strongly fixed on particular people who have perhaps remained constants or who were there at particularly important times. 

Themes were explored using drawing but were realized in her final piece using screen printing on fine fabric. This gave her the opportunity to layer the fabric, offsetting the images ultimately giving a shifting, faintly ambiguous quality so appropriate to her meaning. The final piece was approximately two meters wide.
