Join this mindfulness-based, art workshop on Saturday 22 Feb, 2025, at OVADA, in central Oxford. David will begin the day with five minutes mindful reflection, before leading a gentle, 45-minute walk from OVADA along the canal and back, pausing to make sketches, record the sounds and sights that inspire us. Returning to OVADA, we will do affective mapping; tracing maps of central Oxford, and capturing our thoughts, mood and experience through abstract colour and mark-making. Lastly we will spend time creating spontaneous poems, scatting and collecting words that describe our walking experience and forming them into short inspired poetry. There will also be a one-day solo exhibition of David's recent work which inspired the workshop [see below].

Exhibition
A time and place
22/02/2025

A one-day, solo exhibition with over 20 new works, to accompany the all-day workshop [see above]. The exhibition is a presentation of transmedial works that David completed recently for an MA in Fine Art with Falmouth University. Inspired by an archive of family photos dating back to the early 1900's David visited locations along the North Yorkshire coast, collecting found objects, making sketches, and journal entries. Returning to the studio, David then works through a series of creative processes to form spontaneous poetry, affective mapping, assemblages, abstract and landscape drawing and painting. It was while working on this project that David developed the creative methods he will be sharing through a workshop at OVADA [see above].
