SELF-EXPLORATION MIXED MEDIA WORKSHOP

SELF-EXPLORATION MIXED MEDIA WORKSHOP

In the Self-Exploration Mixed Media Workshop, you will explore basic art-making techniques at your own pace. Unconventional mixed media will be used in these workshops in combination with acrylic and water-based paint and drawing materials, such as charcoal, pencil, ink and graphite. In this workshop, De Wet guides participants through a series of mixed media exercises which culminate in the creation of a mixed media artwork using a combination of the materials explored. In so doing, participants learn, share and create together, gently pushing the boundaries and awakening their inner creative worlds.

THE FIRST OF MANY

The first of many. . the beginnings of an installation and possibly a new body of work! Exciting, daunting and such a relief. The forming of new neural pathways are wonderful and necessary.

Layered Introversion 1. Plastic netting, recycled clothing, gauze, felt, cotton thread, pins. 22 x 20 cm 2017

The layered, hand-stitched ‘miniatures’, titled Layered

Introversion, are comprised of textural materials such

as plastic netting, shreds of delicate clothing, previously

painted on and used canvas, gauze and felt, and are

carefully placed together to form dense layers of mostly

monochrome colours with strong hints of orange in certain

places. This work echoes the private, quiet space of a shirt

pocket, that also has a bodily resonance. These objects can

fit or be hidden away in the personal, intimate space of a

pocket.
