Letha Wilson, Steel I-Beam Wall Push August 26 — 30 O Pushing Image into Form: from two to three dimensions Letha Wilson CONCEPT Experiment with ways to represent and invoke your surroundings. Students use an interdisciplinary format that embraces painted or photographic images, physical layers, non- traditional art materials and sculptural forms. The role of observation is explored, as well as new ways to incorporate shadow, color, surface and texture. Participants discover playful ways to embark upon new relationships between two-dimensional and three-dimensional elements and reconcile experiences with vision. Representational imagery is a point of entry for work that leads further into removal, obstruction and abstraction. MEDIA & TECHNIQUES Students embrace an interdisciplinary approach to painting including painting, collage, sculpture, photography and drawing. Support materials such as paper, canvas, wood panels and found objects are also introduced. There are techniques of image transfer, mounting and building from flat materials presented in the workshop. ACTIVITIES Daily discussions include presentations, group and one-on-one critiques and conversation. Specific exercises promote new ways of looking. Individual studio time is balanced with dialog and group conversation and is flexible with each artist’s needs. Artists are invited to bring their own ideas, projects and images.
