Juliet is a story-teller and likes to represent the hidden or overlooked in unexpected ways. Perception and alternative ways of seeing are exploited by her in order to create work that interweaves social histories and collective memories with her own personal, gendered archive.
Juliet’s current work utilises elements of the everyday to create collages that combine nostalgic references to our shared histories and evoke memories of the familiarity of home. Her work is created by layering domestic paper samples including textured wallpapers, dressmaking patterns, vintage book pages and postage stamps.
She also monoprints tissue paper with found textures and ephemera to further her stock of source materials. The overlaid papers create further patterns and layers which reference our social interactions and the hidden tensions and emotions that underpin every family.
Juliet has a degree in Fine Art and a Masters in Contemporary Art from Plymouth University and works from her studio at Krowji in Redruth (W17). ng ating the presence
