Exhibiting artist Stacey Evans led a virtual Zoom workshop inspired by her collaborative exhibition, "This Familiar Space". This workshop is about allowing things to break apart, and how we bring them back together. We made collages based on landscape, interior rooms, and a place we’ve never experienced. For most of us, we have been in our homes for many consecutive days - these rooms are familiar to us, but the circumstances are new. Now is a creative opportunity to blend the familiar with the unfamiliar.
Stacey works in collage because she "likes to see change". She says: "I started ripping paper when I was sent to my room as a child. It was a way to release my frustration while I processed why I was in trouble. This simple action I intuitively picked up still provides a place for me to reflect and wonder."
Throughout three Zoom sessions, Stacey shared her project, materials, and process. Participants had access to her photographs for digital or print use.
