Shadows and Silhouettes Collage

with Lindsey Parker

This workshop will take a playful approach to the concepts of shape, shadow and silhouettes.  By learning a few simple techniques to create various versions of one shape, participants will be invited to create a collage that explores the interplay of light and dark, foreground and background, filling and surrounding, reflection and absorption.   

Skill level – no previous experience needed.  
Lindsey Parker is a wife, mum, children’s pastor, graphic designer with a background in fine arts and cross-cultural mission.  A painter by training and at heart, she has turned her hand to analogue and digital collage whilst seeking consistent creative practice within the short spaces of time that her current season of life allows.  With a deep love of saturated colour, richly detailed imagery and pattern she finds inspiration from the serendipitous juxtaposition of found images and seeks to present them as visual responses to and contemplations of the complexities and beauties of life.
She is one of the organisers of the Global Creative Studio Day and facilitates the online Australian creative studio - Connect and Create.
