Workshop with Curator and Artist Tilke Elkins: Conversations with Wild Pigments
Workshop with Curator and Artist Tilke Elkins: Conversations with Wild Pigments
Saturday, June 10th, 10:00am - 12:00pm
Location: The Zane Bennett Collection Study Room (RM 106) in Devasthali Hall
Join artist and Wild Pigment Project founding director Tilke Elkins to ask questions about the transformative powers of paint. How can wild pigments usher in change on personal, social and planetary levels? Explore questions of ethical foraging and creative purpose.
Paint-making through a deep relationship with place nourishes both the painter and the land. By intercepting materials as they travel through their life cycles and exploring opportunities for reciprocity — ways to give back to the land and its communities, both human and interspecies — artists can align their material practices with values of reverence for place.
Engage the full sensorium through multiple paint-making demos and a chance to paint with wild pigments in this free two-hour workshop.
