Please Join Us for a Visit to the Studio of Artist Julia Bloom
Saturday, October 11, 11:00 am
Please join us for a visit to the Northeast Washington, DC studio of artist Julia Bloom on Saturday, October 11 at 11:00 am.
Julia shares, “My typewriter drawings contain my most private thoughts and obsessions. I start a drawing by typing uncensored stream-of-consciousness diary entries in the style of Surrealist automatic writing on Japanese, Nepalese, and other papers, using old typewriters. I type over the same page several times, documenting my reflections, dreams, to-do lists, current events, and overheard conversations, as well as my worries, anxieties, and epiphanies, over and in between my original typed lines of text. These layers of typing form patterns, creating tension between legibility and illegibility. I draw bold shapes in charcoal, graphite, and other materials on this layered text, further obscuring my words. These areas of blocked out text are my nod to the redactions commonly used in official documents to protect privacy, but they are also a quiet stillness within the cacophony of my thoughts.”
Registration is open to15 WPC members and their guests. Members may register for themselves and one guest. Please RSVP by October 1.
