Things we like.
Julie Wolfe , Dress Code x 10. 2024, Archival pigment ink and pastel on Arches rag paper.
Julie Wolfe, multimedia artist based in Washington, D.C. and New York, transforms images of beauty—fashion, art, botanicals—through cutting, recombining, and layering unexpected colors.
Her visual language, grounded in transformation and juxtaposition, becomes a lens for interpreting the evolving relationships between bodies, garments, and cultural memory. By embracing the grotesque—surprising, wondrous, at times estranging—Wolfe unsettles the familiar and opens new, unbounded ways of seeing.
She is currently collaborating with The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute for its Spring 2026 exhibition, and her art is held in important public and private collections worldwide.
This artwork is included in her recent book, Apophenia 02: Exquisite Co**se.
