Emerging from a series of workshops lead by local artist Jacqui Grace and soul crafter Rebecca Funk, the cohort of makers will exhibit new eco-printing based work developed from an exploration of creative process where artist, matter and cosmos are co-constructors of meaning, beauty, sacredness, art and chaos.
'This is art-as-process, and we will practice letting go of outcome and expectation, as best we can, so that we can bear witness to what is arising in the present moment. This emerging understanding will come from our own intuitions and knowings, from snippets of other people’s stories, from the pieces we create and what they wish to show us, from the natural world around us, from Mystery…
We are seeking what lies beneath what we know, what lies beyond our current identity. ' - Jacqui Grace
Dynamics between structure and emergence, individual work and collaboration, the stagnant and the ephemeral, process and outcome culminate in an exhibition which will showcase the generative process of eco-printing as we explore what lies beneath the leaf, and these constructs.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
AN ART-AS-PROCESS JOURNEY AND EXHIBITION IN ECO-PRINTING, ENGAGING SHAMANIC AND THERAPEUTIC ARTS PRACTICE
Our journey will take place over six days in winter when we will stay present to our creative process, engage with emergent knowing, experience the generative space between self and multiple others, when artists, matter and cosmos become co-constructors of meaning, beauty, sacredness, art and chaos.
We will explore the dynamics between structure and emergence, individual work and collaboration, the stagnant and the ephemeral, process and outcome, all the time coming to new understandings of our artistic identities. We are learning how to make room for what lies beneath to reveal itself.
Our explorations will culminate in a month-long group exhibition in Burrinja's main Gallery, showcasing the generative results of the eco-printing modality; an ephemeral expression of what has been learnt. Works exhibited may include: watercolour sheets, dresses, fabric pieces, installations and more...
