Obviously influenced by the conceptual photographic artist John Baldessari and his ever present dots, Julie Cockburn takes it another step further and proves the more time you spend on your work the better you can see it. By stitching or collaging directly onto found photographs she makes them all her own. See her current exhibition at Yossi Milo.

Great interviews; one short and one long by Lars Bruun and Dereck Peck. Spend 30 min with a real genius and true warrior.
