Centerville Farm Collage

Untitled

(20" x 20")

Medium: Torn Magazine
Available

I am still trying to determine the name of the farm so I can decide on a title. The farm is located just west of Centerville Junior high. The farm is depicted as it looked 12 years ago. Since then, the tall silo is gone and the smaller silo has been refurbished. Houses and a tall vinyl fence obscure from view most of what is left.

About My Method

What started out as a way for me to dress my stark-white apartment walls on a budget as a newlywed has evolved into what my dear brother calls RIP-ISM!

I've been drawn to art and longed to call myself an artist since about second grade. I took a lot of art classes in high school but pursued and completed a degree in English instead.

In 2002, I created my first collage using rubber cement, an old JC Penney catalog, and 99 cent poster board. I've adapted my technique since then. Now I use heavy foam board or stretched canvas, Mod Podge, and miscellaneous magazines. Lately, I've been ripping up a lot of Parents, Cooking Light, and Rachel Ray Magazines along with Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware Catalogs.

If anyone would like to donate old magazines for "recycling" Julie-style, let me know.

I hope you enjoy what you see.
