Workshop.
This poetry/ collage workshop is set in The Douglas Fir which is the venue hosting Lauren Bulla's Solo Exhibition entitled, Existing in Borrowed Moments. This workshop's purpose is to create space for participants to consider the exhibition's theme in tandem with their work. All in a low stress, community based environment open to creatives of any medium and all levels of experience.
The workshop will be based around creating new narratives as we consider how the past, present and future regularly interact with each other. We will seek to create narratives with our work as we use multiple mediums to engage poetry, art, and storytelling over the duration of the workshop.
All necessary materials will be provided but it is always encouraged to bring your own notebooks if you regularly write.
Exhibition.
This series of digital artworks depicts the overlapping and interweaving of memories as they paint new interpersonal landscapes. We are impacted by what happens to us, and our experiences lead us to behave in certain ways/ chase specific types of connections.
You’ll notice a layering of poetic works overtop photographed and illustrated moments. Poetry is used strategically to showcase the instigation of something entirely new from what has already come and gone. The past assists us in our forward development - it allows us lessons and new ways to scavenge for silver linings in some of the seemingly most insurmountable scenarios.
Existing in Borrowed Moments is about feeling it all, feeling it again, and the process of creating new pathways. This collection utilizes color, digital manipulation, and multiple mediums to depict a fuller narrative of how these moments impact us all at once, even as they exist completely separately of each other.
