The Sensory Studio: Creative Play with Liam Benson
Overview
An all ages immersive making space.
Explore texture, rhythm, colour and repetition with artist Liam Benson in an art making workshop.
Through playful experimentation and simple construction techniques, participants will use fibres, beads and natural materials to create objects that reflect their own sensory experience. Participants are encouraged to follow their intuition, share knowledge and learn from others.
Liam Benson lives and works on Dharug land in Western Sydney and has been making art for over two decades. With a multidisciplinary practice encompassing performance, photography, video and textiles, Benson's works emerge from ongoing conversations about how culture, subculture and identity interrelate and evolve. Social perceptions of gender, race, culture, sexuality and identity are deconstructed and re-assembled through performative narratives that reveal critical space for personal and cultural awareness and reflection. Benson's practice is centred around working collaboratively with diverse communities to create a sense of belonging and connectivity.
