Julie Cockburn
Filling in the Crack with Ceiling Wax
2009-2010
Julie Cockburn uses found images that she manipulates and embellishes, Cockburn feels she is rescuing these images even. The defacement of these photos I find fascinating sculpting into what the artist thinks as beautiful. Cockburn changes the images how she believes they need to be seen. Removing the blemishes and even embellishing (adding beauty).

Collection 100/ A History
2013
These photographs I can't say I like them, but I do like the feeling they give me. They are obviously personal photos kinda remind me of just snapshots of a moment to remember. I really enjoyed what the artist said about personal photography, and how we need to stop devaluing a photography based if it doesn't fit into the framework of the creative industry. How can we judge a photo and its importance in a world that we won't always be apart of. To stop trying to make photographs important by having a reasoning behind them, and it is okay to not know what your work is about sometimes. "We forget that the passage of time always finds a way distill in our present, our manic confusion, into a series of events, illustrated and proven by the documents we leave behind."
