Julie Blackmon's work was suggested to me in my individual meeting, as an artist to look at that uses a digital technique to change their work. Using some form of collaging and photoshop could change my images without the time consumption other techniques would require. I also am interested in her window scene. I feel using the idea of looking into a room from the outside of the house could be an interesting element in a photograph in my series.
Biography:
Julie Blackmon is a photographer based in Missouri. Her work is inspired by growing up in a large family which explains her use of collage images into one image. Blackmon uses her family members to play the parts in her images, which center on family life and the hypocrisy of the family dynamic.
Quotes:
" We live in a culture where we are both “child centered” and “self-obsessed.” The struggle between living in the moment versus escaping to another reality is intense since these two opposites strive to dominate."
"I believe there are moments that can be found throughout any given day that bring sanctuary. It is in finding these moments amidst the stress of the everyday that my life as a mother parallels my work as an artist, and where the dynamics of family life throughout time seem remarkably unchanged. "
