julie m rozman . design - realized

I am a person who does things and makes things. Some of these things might be considered as art.

• A note: In my practice, action tends to hold primacy, while documentation plays an evidentiary and indexical role. I watch and I continue to wonder. Where is the art? What really matters? Repackaging that work for consumption by an anonymous public is a hard priority when what truly presses are so many more opportunities to act.
  
  
  
• Links to some digital output:
• Tumblr: Find it here. It's become my primary blog. A lot of art things, and some not. Updated frequently and casually.
• Blog: Adventures in Making. Collection of photos, thoughts, and some works.
• Pinterest: Find it here. An online visual archive of what I've enjoyed looking at, and why.
  
  
• Recent Works:
  
• MFA Portfolio. Images of the works I used in applying for MFA programs. December 2010 - December 2011. I am attending University at Buffalo for an MFA in Visual Studies, with graduation anticipated in the spring of 2014. Note: page requires Flash compatibility.
• Project Pinhole. Project of indefinite length, started March 2012. It began with observing the passage of a night, but has developed an ethos of its own. The link above goes to the guts of the work in progress - research, thoughts, and so on - on Tumblr. To see images of the first negative, look at this post.
  
  
• Repeat Daily Upon Waking: Daily photo project started August 2010. Many of the collected images are shared through Facebook. These are links to some of the Facebook galleries.

• Some Facebook-based galleries of ceramic works, 2010-2011 at UIUC:
  
• During Spring 2011 I did a lengthy installation project and study that was very sensitive to space and light, but also produced a volume of components and digital images. I also did some other interesting works based in a line of thought extended by and through collection and accumulation over time. I look forward to sharing some of that work here.
• Studio Works - Crit III, Fall 2010. The evolution continues and I start playing with strangeness and the imagination.
• Studio Works - Crit II, Fall 2010. In a few words, a tableau-based exploration and evolution.

• Content in progress:
  
• Archive: there are lots more works and doings that might be shared, which I think are interesting and worth sharing. I'd like to use indexhibit to share them, and my accompanying thoughts, in a more conversational way.
• Architecture: Building 13. A $13M design-build renovation of a 1904 bearing masonry building on the historic campus at Great Lakes Naval Base. While employed by the architecture firm that was AOR (and in turn employed by the design-build joint venture), I served as project architect and later acted as project manager. It was an incredible experience, from design through construction admin, that spanned over two years of my architecture career.
