This object based workshop was to investigate how objects are understood and defined through art practices and how their identities can shift and alter through material manipulation.
Using the Paul Nash exhibition to inform discussions and processes, we explored the potential of the everyday object by joining, unpicking, mapping, repeating, mirroring, locating and fixing. How can the ordinary become extraordinary through thoughtful and sensitive making techniques? The day focused on the transformation and restructuring of objects to generate a series of images and forms - a new body of work.
Kimberley Foster is an artist, lecturer and researcher currently involved in a practice led PhD at Goldsmiths, University of London. Her practice is formed through collaborative processes that question pedagogy, object, action and event. Kimberley identifies teaching as part of her research, balancing materiality, interpretation, participation and enquiry based learning.
