# Decorative Mural Journals Julia Lines Wilson Documented a Year in Her Life on Wax Paper By Jessica Marcel | Published 2010-01-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/julia-lines-wilson References: [art-milk](http://art-milk.com/julia-lines-wilson/) & [pastafajulia](http://pastafajulia.com/) Artist Julia Lines Wilson used a typewriter and [wax paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti) as her [diary for an entire year](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/today-last-year). Afterward, she created this exhibit titled ‘Memory.’ The piece is an excellent memorial to a year of life. Julia Lines Wilson is from Rhode Island. She has a degree in Fiber and Material Studies, and while we’re not actually sure what that entails, presumably it has something do with her art. [All kinds of textiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olga-de-amaral) can be viewed in the work of Julia Lines Wilson. Check it out in the gallery, and at her site. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Textile Artistry:** Opportunity to explore innovative art forms using textiles and unconventional materials. - **Diary Manifestos:** Potential for creating unique diaries and journals using non-traditional methods. - **Mixed Media Expression:** Emerging trend of combining different mediums to convey personal experiences and memories. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art Supplies:** Opportunity for manufacturers to develop and market unconventional art supplies and materials. - **Art Education:** Incorporation of unconventional artistic techniques and materials in curriculum. - **Art Exhibitions:** Creating platforms to showcase and promote artists who experiment with non-traditional art forms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro-Analog Journaling Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dear-my-diary.md) - [Intricate Site-Specific Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-time.md) - [Climate-Awareness Wool Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irreversible-scale.md) - [Concise Reflection Journals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-sentence-journal.md) - [Intricate Fiber Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threadwork-women-redefining-fiber-arts.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Exquisite Time Lapse Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xl-porcelain-candles.md) - [Colleague-Designed Journals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caliber-fashion-artist-series.md) - [Elderly-Catered Journal Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dual-screen-journal.md)
