Witches, Scamps and Things Solo Exhibition programme: Otherworldly Themed Life Drawing event with Artist Kelly Sweeney
About
Join artist and qualified teacher Kelly Sweeney for this rare opportunity to work from her pantheon of supernatural entities, as otherworldly Goddess MDMA Medusa is brought to life by a model for the first time. MDMA Medusa manifests on a trippy journey in the artist’s recent short film Colour Me White that premiered at The Horse Hospital in January.
This will be a fun and informal approach to drawing as you are taken through a series of experimental techniques with bags of freedom to off-road as you get swept up in the phantasmagoria.
ALL abilities are welcome from first-timers to accomplished artists’. Individual support will be available throughout but space given where it is desired. All materials are provided, but you are of course welcome to bring your favourite sketchbook or pen if that is how you roll (dry, dust-free materials only please). Fly solo. Bring friends. Make new ones.
Join us on this otherworldly evening trip that witnesses MDMA Medusa becoming the painted, the sculpted, the fetish, the summoned, the conjured and the goddess in all her physical glory. If you love the sound of this, check out our April Fools’ event where Sweeney present’s the psychic schizophrenic harlequin that features in her recent film Colour Me Pink. Ridiculous absurdity guaranteed.
