In this process-oriented drawing/mixed media workshop, we will explore various methods and meanings connected to SURFACE ---- both practically and conceptually. Nonlinear narratives will be developed through selective procedures such as marking, rubbing, layering, erasing, scratching, smudging, staining, blotting, etc. Chance operations and time-mapping will be used as ways to generate composition. All sorts of 2-D images, including photographic and photocopier images will be considered fair game. A scanner and printer will be provided during the workshop, as well as various other toys and tools. Each participant can expect to take away an exciting set of work that pushes beyond his/her own conventions into new creative territory.
