Manhattan Sestet

Manhattan was a wild desert island. Then the Dutch came. Years Past. Centuries Past. The Modernists colonized the grid which had until then been manifest on street level. Their skyscrapers gave rise to a vertical matrix too. Their facades give no clues to their explosion of interior activities. A culture of density on a fantasy island. 
Uncannily it is now more wild than when nature ran untamed. Julie Wolsztynski seeks refuge from the surreal culture of congestion. She takes a step back in time. It’s quiet. We stand in the middle of nature untamed. We breath in the mist. Julie’s photograph lends a gentle touch with a soft focus. From the wilderness we look back to the architecture of the future rising on the horizon. Alexander Schneider, “The” George Washington University

Dark heart

"The Dark Heart - New York Poetry #2 is the second in a narrative series that explores the photographer’s relationship with New York. The journey of a single night is recorded on film, resulting in a series that portrays the mystery and open-ended nature of a city that has the capacity to both inspire and overwhelm. Julie questions how one might find logic or uniformity in a city where there is neither, and attempts an answer by pushing herself to find cohesiveness in her medium. The photographs’ painterly depiction evokes the poeticism and quietness of an otherwise frenetic city, and speaks to the way New York stories are often transformed by our emotional states." ©Adah Rose Gallery
