Julie Dodd is an installation artist who mainly works with paper. Books and magazines form the source of her materials alongside other discarded materials, recycled to form installations, bringing a new life and meaning to them. Her work is rooted in environmental issues, using her practice as a platform to reflect her concerns of our consumption and environmental responsibility. Based on repetition and inspired by pattern and shape found in nature, her artwork appears as multiples, used to mimic life, growth and regeneration.
