Let yourself be quietly drawn by the deeper pull of what you truly love. ~ Rumi



INTRODUCTION

Mixed Media Collage by Janet Taylor Pickett


Collage Memory is a workshop that explores self-expression and discovery. COLLAGE, in particular is based on the spontaneity of layered images and symbols. It is a process that uses pieces of other ideas to create independent new ideas, that may or may not have anything to do with the bits and pieces borrowed to create it... MEMORY... On the other hand, is the ability to store, retain, and recall information and experiences.


"COLLAGE-MEMORY"... explores internal thoughts, impressions, and personal histories through collage projects, using a variety of mixed mediums. Liken to a visual dance of the heart and mind, by which we expose bits of ourselves (our personal visual metaphor and narratives) to others.


Every living soul was born to create. Often that creativity gets buried under all the responsibilities of daily life. We forget who we actually are. We are after all more than the titles and positions we or others assign to us...


Learning to access your personal narratives and use them in visual interpretations is healthy for personal growth. The full intention of this workshop is ultimately to offer opportunities for deeper self expression. By tapping into the multitude of every day objects and materials available for use in that process.


Welcome! to opportunities for abundant creativity
