Workshop leftovers - ready to be rustled up into something pretty
These lo-tech paper and object-based works were developed during recent Live Art Development Agency DIY 6 workshops led by LOW PROFILE at Plymouth Arts Centre that explored the creative potential of the leftovers of artistic practice.
The work exists as an encyclopedic accumulation of manifestoes for miniature actions, pretty pictures for salon style displays, notebooks for note-makers, false details, excuses, cats, paintings, drawings, video, Margaret’s photos, stationary sundries, horse chakras, workshop detritus and skirts for plinths.
