Art Josh Dorman, Carol Es, and Julie Speed

  • Big-gear_large

Modern mix-masters Josh Dorman, Carol Es, and Julie Speed are art historians of sorts: all three borrow imagery from recycled sources such as obsolete textbooks, vintage clothing, and discarded signs in order to create multi-layered surfaces where past meets present. Dorman's technique involves drawing and painting on antique ledger pages, with the ghost-like lines of the original text peeking out from underneath, while Speed weaves complex story lines using collages of disparate found objects. Es' work is highly personal — she excavates childhood memories through craft learned from her days as a cutter in the garment industry and literally reconstructs them with thread and embroidery on canvas.
