The Practice of Taking Up Space

Join 2D media and performance artist Ashley Keane in an experimental drawing workshop that blends body movement exercises with mark-making!
About this Event

Through mark-making, movement, layering, and improvisation, participants will create large scale drawings and paintings that evolve through response rather than planning. Together we’ll build a surface full of marks and begin a conversation with what is already on the page, allowing the artwork to emerge through curiosity, intuition, and play. Working on paper that stretches from the wall onto the floor, we’ll use oversized brushes, found objects, paint, drawing, and mixed media to make marks, move our bodies, and experiment.


The question we’ll be asking ourselves throughout the workshop is: What happens when we let ourselves get BIG? This isn’t about making something perfect. It’s about taking up space, following what feels interesting, making a mess, and seeing what happens when we let ourselves get a little bigger than usual.


This workshop is an invitation to trust your inner voice, take creative risks, use your whole body in the process, and discover what becomes possible when you give yourself permission to take up space.


All materials are provided, just bring your creativity!
