SWELL Fringe – Life Drawing Sessions

This year as part of SWELL Fringe Festival, Life Drawing Sessions collaborates with SWELL artist Christian Newton to bring you an oceanic experience. Large timber carved gastropods will set the scene for our model to interact with and create stories through her poses. Newton sees shells as homes for creatures forced to uproot and adapt to live in an ever changing world. This idea will thread the theme of the night as we gather in the Dust Temple courtyard to draw. For our auditory senses we have Northern Rivers musicians Rochinan playing their riverboat tunes made up of acoustic and electric guitar, dabbled with ethereal flute melodies.

Let the stories of the river and the sea pour onto your page as we draw with music, sculpture and muse to create a truly artistic and immersive experience.
