Luminosity: an elemental conversation

An exhibit showcasing contemporary lumens and exclusive hand painted poly photogravures.

The images conjure up delicate communications between the pieces of art to each other and the elements that created them. Standing with one leg in the past and one in the present, julie co-creates with molecules of sunlight, wind, dust, spices and emulsions to allow the art to speak to the viewers & each other.

Please join the conversation.

This interactive exhibit revolves around the way communication takes place, not just for flora, but for all of us. Information, messages & meanings carried by the wind, our breath, greets the exhibit with the options for understanding, misunderstanding, ignoring, acceptance and love. Not always seen clearly, often information veiled, the exhibit invites the viewers to create a discussion as to what meaning communication has to us, whether from the art, the nature that created it or between each other.

Julie Moore has been creating her evocative style of art for a decade. Though she has no formal training in photography, Julie has felt captivated by the visual arts throughout her life. She was first inspired to pick up a camera many years ago while visiting Ireland in the company of a shaman, and she has been photographing the beauty of her world ever since. Perhaps surprisingly, she creates her captivating art primarily with her iPhone, visualizing, co-creating and processing her images with the camera she carries in her pocket. She also creates some of her images with her Holga, a medium-format film camera. Julie makes many of her prints using the polymer-photogravure process. Drawn to this alternative method of printmaking, she also employs other complimentary techniques during the intaglio printing process, such as chine-collé and à la poupée. During the pandemic, Julie began experimenting with the Lumen precess and fast became an advocate of this alternative process.

About her work, Julie has said: “My images share the way I see the world, its soft tenderness and extravagant beauty, its agonizing loss and exquisite aging. I see the overlooked aspects of life and nature. There is small and precious beauty in the unseen, a part of everyday life that can go missing because it is not prominent, yet has much to teach us.” Julie’s work has been shown in a number of juried exhibitions in various galleries across the country.
