Public Program
Unfolding the Domestic – workshop with artist Sam Cranstoun
Devonport Regional Gallery
In this workshop Lost In Palm Springs exhibition artist Sam Cranstoun will guide participants in how to create a series of paper sculptures inspired by the humble breeze block.
By exploring the rich design legacy of this easily recognisable building material, participants will create a range of delicate but bold objects that elevate these everyday objects found in their neighbourhoods.
Using a combination of drawing, sculpture and site specific installation, participants will find awe and wonder in the domestic. Taking inspiration from pre-existing breeze block designs, and using a range of processes that include drawing, cutting and folding, workshop participants will create intricate yet striking origami-like, 3-dimensional objects.
