Art Forms in Nature

Art Forms in Nature - I am holdfast. I am flow

A playful sensory experience that explores the natural flow of seaweeds held fast in a creative making process

We begin at Millers Point to be lead on a sensory foraging experience explaining the properties of the seaweeds and how they are used as a source for food. Our artist and guide, Ros Stockhall, will discuss the form, colour and aesthetic quality of the seaweed and how this can be used as a point of creative exploration, using a mindful approach as we tread lightly to gather samples of our seaweed resource for the creative workshop.

Having harvested the material, we proceed to the Ros Bean Biodiversity & Mindfulness Centre (BAM), where we will enjoy a seaweed-inspired lunch. During this time, Ros will demonstrate the two printmaking processes, encouraging a relaxed and mindful awareness.

During the making process, we encourage you to explore a playful, messy space, deconstructing our held fast mindsets into an open flow of opportunity.
