Centred on my sculptural Wands series in the group exhibition The House at IMT Gallery, I will be leading Gathering Wands: a Walk and Carving Workshop on Saturday, 18 April 2026, 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. This workshop invites a shared evening of wandering, foraging and making.
The workshop begins with a twilight walk through Victoria Park. Moving along desire paths, the group will allow themselves to wander off the obvious routes, gathering found natural materials along the way. These paths offer a subtle, gentle form of resistance, a space for slower attention and observation.
Returning to IMT Gallery, we will gather our foraged materials and create our own wands using a combination of carving and binding techniques. The session concludes with a guided meditation and meditative drawing exercise. Together, we will explore what it means to hold found natural materials, noticing how our focus shifts between objects, ourselves, and the connections they hold.
