A series of Julie's work was at the Rheged Centre Penrith in an exhibition of twelve selected artists across the British Isles. The exhibition THE ART OF REMEMBERING asks what emotional connection remains to the First World War and how we have memorialised it over the past 100 years.
With the help and kind permission of the Penrith and Eden Museum, Julie has hand printed onto porcelain the images of ordinary people living in Penrith and the surrounding areas at the time of the Great War. The images are collaged with feasible but unrelated digital photographic scenes transferred on to wood. The digital images were taken when Julie visited the area in August.
The collages are of people whose lives would have been touched by the war in various ways, with accounts which over time get embellished or forgotten. Julie's series of work for this exhibition draws on the past and present and brings attention to the question of truth in memorialisation.
