“Places I love come back to me like music,
Hush me and heal me when I am very tired;
I see the oak woods frost newly fired;
And I am thirsty for the spring in the valley”

Moving Memories in Mixed Media with Anne Kelly

6th - 12th July 2022

5 workshop days / 6 nights

“I can’t remember things before they happen,” says Alice, and the Queen retorts, “It’s a poor sort of memory that only works backwards.” Memory both is and is not our past; it is made, and continually remade. The question of memory, is inseparable from the question of identity; and travel and collections remind us of who we are, and what we have seen…. or would like to see .  Mixed media artist, Anne Kelly, plans to help us take stock, freeze the now, arrest the incessant head-over-heels stampede into the future and look back quietly at where we have been to reach this point.. Participants can choose whether to work primarily in paper or in textile or both during this workshop and Anne will direct you towards the option that suits your collections best.
