COLLAGE, COLOUR, COMPOSITION AND NON-COMPOSITION

Collage, Colour, Composition and Non-composition will be run by NAS painting lecturers Susan Andrews, Andrew Donaldson and David Serisier on Cockatoo Island.

The project will use colour and collage to explore pictorial issues in response to the island. During the four days at Cockatoo Island, students will be asked to search the island for compositions that are already-made. They must have a dominant two-dimensional frontality. They could have their origins in concrete structures such as architecture, and or, transcendent phenomena including shadows or light. Each already-made composition will have its own individual needs for colour, whether readymade or found. Each already-made composition will need either a detached quiet voice or a polyphonic voice that is necessary to present the intention of an individual interpretation.
Issues of scale can be addressed in the initial collage or through a generationally serial approach.
