Julie Derbyshire
London
Julie is a photographic artist. She holds a BA Photography (Ist Class) from the University of Westminster and an MA Photography (Distinction) from the London College of Communication (UAL).
Julie's work explores themes of fragility and transience through a physical and visual engagement with objects and materials. She uses the constructed photograph as the final distillation of a creative process that encompasses acts of making, manipulation and disruption. Her fabrications, which are often small scale and of a temporary nature, are made more compelling through the medium of photography; transient moments of precariousness and suspense are captured within the frame. Julie’s works are defined by a unique combination of beauty and disquiet inviting the viewer to reflect and to question what lies beyond the image.
