About the book >.>.> There is something at once familiar and strange about Julie Nord’s most recent works. Familiar because they are modelled on the untold number of family por- traits that throughout history have formed a visual reference so familiar that we instantly recognise them. We do so regardless of whether the pictures take their point of reference from the stilted portrait photos of the 1800s or the family photographs taken by the local village photographer in the 1970s. And strange because the photographic portraits in Julie Nord’s interpretation expand into me- ticulous hand-drawn patterns taking possession of and displacing the meaning in the familiar pictures. In some of the pictures the faces are gradually melting away leaving mere traces of uncanny blurred dots. In others the bodies and faces have been entirely assailed by patterns leaving them as empty contours. Yet others show watercolour running out of the faces like heavy drops. Familiar and strange the pictures bear witness to a closeness that existed once – being simultaneously confirmed and displaced by Julie Nord. (LL)
