Oscar’s practice aims to bring the peaceful beauty and joy of nature into the institutional and domestic environments. By using natural dyes and recycled antique fabrics, he can amalgamate histories and ecologies to create bright, seductive and striking images. The initial beauty of these images acts as a stepping stone across the deep and crucial pool of discourse surrounding climate change and the need to rethink how we approach material use.
In this workshop, we will look at some of the colours used in Oscar’s work ‘Sundown Community / In the Roost’ and use accessible materials to create a collage inspired by sunsets and silhouettes.
