MARIANNE COURTENAY

Works on paper by three regional artists, including prints and drawings by the individual artists, together with collaborative work. These grew out of an artists field study project focusing on the upper Shoalhaven in early 2011 and subsequent exploration of the full length of the river as it makes its way from the high country, over the escarpment ranges and on through the coastal plain to the sea.

Make a book that will be a record of a journey you have taken by using the simple concertina form, using techniques such as stitching, collage, transfer prints, drawings & watercolour. Additions to the book form will make it a unique artist’s book. Ways of introducing text will be explored.

Paper will be be dyed using a variety of plant based dyes. We will then change the surface of the paper, using the marks made during the dye process to guide the stitching, cutting or embossing of the pages.

A book will be made using the simple concertina form with added pages or small objects stitched into the folds.

It will be a weekend of exploring possibilities using simple materials & techniques that you can use at home.

Express your ideas by working with natural and made materials
Express your ideas by working with natural and made materials to create wonderful 2D and 3D structures/collages. Explore the possibilities of various materials and how to shape, bind, glue, stitch, solder or wire them together. Inspirations are drawn from art works, nature, the built environment, history and memory.

Gabriella Hegyes was born in Hungary in 1954 and settled in Australia in 1977. She studied fine arts at Wollongong, the National Art School, University of Western Sydney and Monash University.
