Description |
Julienne Johnson's "AuSable" (ca. 2010) Abstract, mixed media oil on canvas, including acylic, various papers, charcoal, graphite, crayon, cotton, silk, plastic, pigment transfers. Artist Statement, 2015 "I make art to communicate what I cannot communicate with words; what I need to say about what's going on in the world around us; what I cannot fix; what I wish I could make different with my paint and clay or metal and wood. I work very hard at it - always with my hands, spearing, scraping, sanding - until the experience becomes intimately personal. Communication is at the heart of every creation, wedded to a humanistic concern. I yearn with passion to make sense of it all. Fulfillment comes only after I am personally satisfied with having known, experienced and conveyed - or at least tried to convey, an ongoing, meaningful conversation; a conversation that has found its way in the work itself; a conversation that may potentially transpire a continuance of the same with each viewer - long after the paint has dried." Artists brief bio: "Julienne Johnson is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice includes drawing, painting, sculpture, assemblage and video. She has been engaged in a variety of other creative disciplines, most notably songwriting. ...Julienne Johnson was born in Michigan and has traveled extensively throughout the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
