Tate researcher Emma Sharples (Cambridge) and artist Greg Humphries (Cornwall) present this workshop on magical and ecological thinking. Discover the extraordinary work of British artist and occultist Ithell Colquhoun (1906-88) and experiment with her methods of image-making.
Part presentation, discussion session and making activity, the session is inspired by °ä´Ç±ô±ç³Ü³ó´Ç³Ü²Ô’s artistic and spiritual practices. It will explore queer and feminist approaches to painting, considering the artist’s imagery, methods and writings in the context of environmental thinking. Participants will have a chance to explore agency through the use of Surrealist automatic techniques including superautomatism and °ä´Ç±ô±ç³Ü³ó´Ç³Ü²Ô’s own invention ‘parsemage’.
