For Adults: Whimsical Wildflowers with Emma Prill

For Adults: Whimsical Wildflowers with Emma Prill

When	Sunday 12th February 2017 9:30am
Where	Tauranga Art Gallery, 108 Willow Street, Tauranga

In this 3-hour workshop with artist Emma Prill, participants will explore a variety of materials and processes exploring the delicate nature and nostalgic connotations around the beauty and whimsy of wildflowers. Wildflowers are often found self-seeded in fields or by the side of roads, and they are a delight to see. They are often associated with a sense of freedom. This workshop is inspired by The Apron: A Garden Project by Richard Orjis, a wildflower art installation located in front of the Baycourt, Tauranga.

In the first of two activities, participants will compose a relief work using clay and plaster. The plaster will retain a memory impression of the wildflowers that will then be delicately enhanced with acrylic paint.

In the second work, participants will create a delicately composed work with the actual wildflowers themselves. Structure, mandala art, composition, colour and repetition of form will be discussed. This work will be then photographed and the memory of the wildflower assemblage captured in a beautiful colour print.

Emma Prill is an artist based in Omokoroa. Influenced by her travels, Emma weaves memories and imagery from Indian flower markets, frangipani in the jungle of Sri Lanka, the light and colour in Aotearoa, and the tropical gardens of the Pacific into her work. She is interested in the symbolism that flowers have today and historically. Emma was the winner of the Miles Art Award People’s Choice Award in 2014. To check out Emma’s art CLICK HERE.
