This workshop will take its inspiration from the exhibition “Patterned World: The Wallpaper Art of Charles E. Burchfield,” which investigates Burchfield’s innovative wallpaper designs and how they informed his painting career. Participants will be guided through the exhibition to consider aspects of Burchfield’s decorative designs, especially repetition, depth, and arrangement. We’ll also consider some of the parallels between visual pattern-making and the verbal patterns used to create prose poems, such as those of Gertrude Stein and Lyn Hejinian. Then we’ll conduct our own experiments with combining poetry and collage using wallpaper samples, pencils, pens, and paint.
Writers and visual artists welcome, from novice to advanced.
