bio
Julia Arstorp is a Connecticut-based fine art photographer whose black and white images explore themes of memory, history and impermanence. Her work evokes a sense of nostalgia through narratives that are simultaneously autobiographical and broadly resonant.
Research is a central part of her creative process. To explore the interplay between past and present, she often incorporates historical artifacts—photographs, letters, maps—into her images, layered collages and diptychs.
To further add a unique perspective to her art, Julia creates handmade books and assembled pieces.
Her work has been exhibited at the Davis Orton Gallery, PhotoPlace Gallery, Praxis Gallery, Manifest Gallery, and the Griffin Museum of Photography. Her images have appeared in Hand Magazine, Photo Trouvée, Shots Magazine, and the book Cyanotype Toning.
