Waste 2 Art Workshop with Clark Barrett
Waste 2 Art 2025 Year of the TOYS.
Join local artists to learn skills to turn waste into art.
Inspired by the DADA Art Movement - cardboard toys and collages: Saturday 5th April, 11-1pm at the Art Exchange, 313 Argent Street.
Join Clark Barrett for a two-hour workshop for inspirational ideas on creating using waste.
Clark will share the story of the Dada art movement - which pioneered 'found object art' in 1920 as a rebellion against 'serious art' and the establishment powers that allowed WWI to happen.
Then participants will create a collage or simple cardboard toy inspired by the information covered earlier in the session.
Participants can bring old magazines and cardboard - we will supply materials too.
About Clark:
Retired high school art teacher, outback artist, and photographer. Clark’s life and art have been positively influenced by his many decades of teaching creative young high school students and talented adult artists.
Clark has been travelling remote outback roads for decades. After first arriving in Broken Hill, a sense of curiosity and wonder led Clark to begin travelling the region’s dirt roads, sometimes travelling as far as 300kms. Fascinated by “the laser bright intensity of the outback sunlight and the way it makes colour vibrate”, Clark has spent the past 40 years taking inspiration from remote outback landscapes to create his renowned artworks. Travelling through stations and sleeping in shearers’ quarters, Clark would often knock on the doors of isolated homesteads hoping to meet the people who lived in this fascinating land. This curiosity led him to meet and befriend many unique outback characters, amass an enviable collection of experiences and stories, and gain valuable insight into life in the ‘bush’.
Clark’s on site artworks seek to capture the colourful glory of nature’s morning and evening light. ‘The rotation of the earth makes my day!’ The large studio works and 3D constructions communicate Clark’s spiritual link to the landscape and its unique history.
