Glen Foerd, a historic estate by the Delaware River, has a newly opened room featuring an exhibit I curated. The exhibit features a collection of found objects that were gathered from the nearby Poquessing Creek. Each month I would explore the creek at low tide and find objects that were tossed in by mansion residents nearly one hundred years ago. I even found pieces of ceramics that I then matched with intact dinnerware from Glen Foerd’s collection. All of the objects collected inspired art workshops that I hosted at the mansion. This was all part of a year-long artist residency that has recently concluded. This was such a fun project! I feel very lucky to have worked at such a unique place!
Excited to display some community art projects from my workshops at @glenfoerd ! These collaborative sun-catchers will be on view in a newly opened room!
Yesterday I hosted a fun cyanotype workshop at Glen Foerd, a historical mansion on the Delaware river. As a teaching artist in residence, I am exploring multiple artistic techniques that incorporate found objects. Most of the objects for the cyanotypes were collected from the nearby Poquessing Creek. Mansion residents from the 1800s and early 1900s used to dump their glass garbage into the creek. During low tide you can find preserved bottles, shards of fine china, and even marbles! I am so pleased with how the cyanotypes turned out and how creative participants were with these unique found objects.
