<DIV><SPAN>In this 6-week series we investigate </SPAN><SPAN>perspectives of </SPAN><SPAN>composition through </SPAN><SPAN>the art of collage: </SPAN><SPAN>approached as an inquiry, </SPAN><SPAN>an experiment in decision-making,</SPAN><SPAN> </SPAN><SPAN>a contemplative practice and an opportunity for unexpected revelations. </SPAN><SPAN>We explore texture, the aesthetics of text and possibilities of symbolism. </SPAN><SPAN>We examine the concepts of divination, wabi sabi (flawed beauty) and abstraction</SPAN><SPAN> and find the meeting place of spontaneity and design. </SPAN><SPAN>We will emerge with original piece(s) of work and decipher them to reveal </SPAN><SPAN>elements of our own personal symbolism.</SPAN></DIV>
