This is an online workshop held via Zoom with Case for Making

Howardena Pindell is an American artist known for her densely textured mixed media paintings as well as her groundbreaking video work, “Free, White and 21.” Howardena’s work pushes at the boundaries of what paintings are supposed to be through abstraction and with a huge range of materials. In 1979, Howardena was in a terrible car accident and lost a lot of her memories. She started her Autobiography series using postcards of places she’d traveled to (but could no longer remember), cutting these apart and filling in the gaps with paint. In this workshop, we will learn more about Howardena’s decades long art career and use her Autobiography series as a jumping off point for our own explorations of collage and paint. By cutting apart and painting the spaces in between an image, we will get to really play with color and mimicking shapes with paint. Register here >>
