This two-part workshop explores abstraction through the translation of collage into painting. Participants begin by creating a black-and-white collage that emphasizes contrast, pattern, and compositional structure. In the second session, the collage serves as the foundation for painting, allowing participants to explore color, layering, and material transformation. The workshop is inspired by the practices of artists like Carrie Moyer and the experimental opportunities available with collage.
