Julie Peppito’s artwork is a combination of psychedelic collage, miniature quilts, botanical illustration and Americana that blurs the traditional boundaries between high and low art. Like insects stuck in a spider web, sentimental and natural objects, litter and other ephemera are embedded into the surfaces of her drawings and sculptures with obsessive stitching, fungus-like raised patterns, finely painted lines and other repetitive motifs that flow between two and three dimensions. These tapestry-like masses disperse into fantastical and realistically rendered narratives reminiscent of childhood—innocent, deep and reflective at the same time. The hybrid forms are metaphors for the way we connect to ourselves, to each other, and to the planet.
