Creative people aged 16+ are invited to join artist Deborah Kelly for a two-day intensive collage workshop in association with the ACMI touring exhibition Between (the) Details.This workshop expands upon Deborah’s ongoing multidisciplinary project, CREATION.A small group will learn technical skills to develop original collage imagery for a new animated artwork considering human-tree kinship. Participants will keep their completed works.Working with discarded and obsolete books (which were once forests) we will conjure and imagine, play and pay homage.Delivered with technical demonstrations, discussion and readings, Kelly will guide participants to re-imagine and deconstruct the past in playful and poignant ways. This workshop will help you turn discarded imagery into treasure, with bold and beautiful rescues, resistances, and reinterpretations.Participants are welcome to bring vintage reference and art books with black and white images to work with and cut up – those with matte paper are perfect. Damaged books and images are fine. Please note: glossy paper does not work, so please choose carefully.All other materials provided, including vintage imagery from Kelly’s personal archive.Strictly limited group size. $25 for both days, includes lunch.Sessions 10am-3pmSaturday and Sunday 26-27 July 2025If you have dietary or accessibility requirements, please let us know.
