Observation and memory – a drawing workshop with artist Sharyn Wortman
Join artist Sharyn Wortman, our invitational artist in residence, to hear about her
recent Arctic adventures followed by a drawing session onsite in Hampton Park.
Sharyn’s art practice is rooted to place, she loves to work on location, reacting to
found situations and materials. She believes that working onsite informs her mark
making and ultimately adds a different energy to her work.
You’ll have a chance to see first-hand the drawings she made with the help of glacial
ice and arctic mud this summer in the Arctic Circle, inspect her sketchbooks, the tool
box she took with her and how she saw polar bears and goofy walruses.
Bring a sketchbook, your favourite drawing materials and suitable clothing for all
weather. The session will start and end at Rupture, in-between we’ll take our
materials for a walk and finish with a short discussion about what we made together.
