About this Event
As makers working in a contemporary context, we can choose to use any medium or material. Many of these are inherently loaded with cultural, political, and philosophical meaning that can be mined and elaborated on by how we use the materials. This workshop will explore meaning-making through the use of simple, everyday objects and how considerations of form, display, context, and the impact of “the multiple” generate complex and interesting works.
Members $5 | Future Members $15

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Mark Creegan is a Jacksonville-based artist. Alternating between painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, installation, and performance, Mark Creegan’s art practice explores a diverse array of formal, material, and conceptual positions. Tennis racquets, used watercolor sets, and hair combs are just some of the disparate objects Creegan factors into paintings, minimalist wall arrangements, or large-scale installations. This multi-faceted approach is unified by a thoughtful probing of abstract form and painting discourse, of personal and cultural attitudes about color, and of the effect of “the multiple” deployment of the found object.
