Julie Cockburn transforms vintage postcards and photographs through embroidery. Familiar landscapes are reimagined in colour, suspended between dreams, strangeness and memory.

For this second book with Julie Cockburn, the artist continues her delicate transformation of found images. On vintage postcards and photographs, carefully chosen threads redraw contours and bring touches of colour to the surface.

Through these reimagined landscapes, Julie Cockburn weaves a memory that is at once personal and collective. The paths she follows always seem to lead her home; yet her works carry us elsewhere. Sailboats, birds, horizons and fragments of landscapes become starting points for a reverie where the artist’s memories gradually meet our own.

With their soft colours and subtle sense of strangeness, these familiar images open up a suspended space, intimate and shared. An immobile journey, where each embroidery seems to reveal, little by little, the trace of a memory that already feels like our own.
