This is the first of three artist workshops brought to you by Stirchley Art Room as part of The Great Stirchley Sketchbook Circle which is funded by Birmingham City Council - Beyond 2022 Jen Dixon is a local artist whose interest is in the material journey of place which can include physical, imagined or historical journeys. She use collage, artist book-making, and photography to explore this theme. Participants will be invited to think about different kinds of journeys and to consider artists who explore journey as part of their practice. 'Journeys' could include an “A to B” journey, journeys through time, how a place has changed, journeys of emigration, or life events such as parenthood. In the words of Paul Klee, the act of drawing is in ‘taking a line for a walk’, so any kind of mark making can also represent a journey. Participants will have the opportunity to either produce folding addendums to an existing sketchbook (which for our Sketchbook Circle participants could be one of the books they are working in for that project), or to make new folded books. Journey ideas can be then mapped out in the books using collage and markmaking materials. |
This fortnight's Sketchbook Circle theme is 'Journeys'.
