How does a body of water move? How might we describe an experience of viewing water with watercolour’s fluid logic?
Join artist Holly Anderson for a playful painting workshop and explore the materiality of watercolours in producing images of water. Around a makeshift fountain you will be guided through speculative activities that explore this formal tension. Expect experimentation with wax resists and geometric systems to explore the form of water and produce a series of works on paper.
All materials provided — just bring a ‘go with the flow’ attitude. All experience levels welcome. Places are strictly limited, bookings essential.
This workshop is programmed alongside Maluw Adhil Urngu Padanu Mamuy Moesik (Legends from the deep sitting peacefully on the waters) – Selected works from the 23rd Biennale of Sydney: rīvus. Anchored by a new commission from the Torres Strait 8, this exhibition explores how our connections to the natural world might decentre the human, prioritise care for Country, and pursue justice in an epoch of rising temperatures and seas.
