| Julia Barbee
At Biola University Julia earned a bachelor’s degree in sculpture. After starting her own business she went back to school and earned an Associate degree Marketing. She has been designing and working in deconstruction clothing for six years with the line Frocky Jack Morgan. The line sells through two independent boutiques in Portland and Seattle, and she has an in-house studio in Flutter on N Mississippi in Portland.
“I create because I am created, sculpting on the human body. My inspiration draws from tactile bits, woolen fiber, and gossamer. I deconstruct because it allows me to embellish with extraordinary antique pieces, exploring the history of the garment industry through old couture hems and grandma’s tatting; it breeds a dance between finding materials to design with, and composing a form to work towards, and I can be a steward of the environment in a small way.”
