Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover
Taught by Assemblage Artist -Rebecca Kelly and Poet -Hayden Saunier
In this workshop combining visual arts and poetry we will create assemblages using the materials of old recycled books and the texts of old sayings and adages as a starting point to create an expanded or “exploded” exploration of interiors and exteriors, of words as objects, books as worlds, and (whatever else tumbles out.)
Rebecca Kelly-
Rebecca Kelly draws upon her experience as an actor and teacher, as well as a storyteller, to create her work as a visual artist. Her experience in the theatre is reflected in dramatic choices of color or at times lack of color. Rebecca's storytelling is apparent in her use of words within her work. Words, phrases and secret codes are incorporated in her sculptures and artistic books. Themes are hidden allowing viewers to create their own response to the work. inliquid.org/artist/kelly-rebecca/
Hayden Saunier-

Published widely in journals and magazines, her poems have been featured numerous times on Garrison Keillor’s The Writers Almanac, on Poetry Daily, and Pennsylvania Public Radio. An actor as well as a writer, she is the founder/director of No River Twice, an interactive, audience-driven poetry performance.
