Roswell Artist-in-Residence: Julie Alpert

Julie Alpert modifies and arranges craft materials and found-objects in temporary room-size compositions that become frozen records of her private performance. After it is completed, she documents and de-installs it until, as she describes it, “nothing remains but the photographs and a pile of broken and tattered materials, like the sad detritus of an epic celebration the night before.” She also makes drawings and sculptural works on paper that help her discover new forms and color combinations for future installations.
