Living Lines – An Exhibition of Work

Following the Living Lines Workshop and Community Arts Festival at Geddington Brickyard Garden on 22 October, the organisers have arranged for an exhibition of work and alerted Geddington.net to the details.

“If you attended The Big Draw Event at Geddington Brickyard Garden – and even if you didn’t, you might like to see some of the work produced on the day, at this exhibition!

At the Big Draw event, participants created large scale, vibrant and dynamic group art works.

A variety of materials were used, such as graphite sticks, oil pastels, household paint and paint made from spices – but not all used at once! Inspiration was taken from the ‘Living Lines’ of the countryside which surrounds the garden, the garden itself, human movement and the lines and movements within our imaginations and memories.

The workshops were designed and led by artist Emma Davies. As the drawings were being created, they were photographed and filmed by media artist Andy Eathorne. These still images were edited into stop frame animations and short films were also produced from the film footage; thus digital lines created from natural. These short animations and films will also be shown at the exhibition.

If you missed the ‘Living Lines’ Big Draw Event in October and would like to experience a taster of the workshops, then there will be some smaller scale drawing activities available throughout the day on a drop-in basis (so just turn up). Visitors will be able to ‘have a go’ at some of the materials used and use the drawings on display as inspiration for their own art works.

And – as well as all this, there will be refreshments available throughout the day, plus an information stall all about Geddington Brickyard Garden, a local gem for the Geddington community.

So come to Geddington Village Hall on Sunday 5th November, between 11.30am and 5pm for an Exhibition of Large Scale Community Drawings, Short Films and Animations, Drop-In Workshops, Refreshments and the GBG Information Stall.”
