Join writer and artist Jan Pittard for a session of Ekphrastic writing in response to Gregory Carosi's House of Cards exhibition, currently on display at the Wagga Wagga Art Gallery.
Ekphrasis is a vivid, often dramatic, verbal description of a visual work of art. Your piece can be in any genre, it just needs to evoke or be inspired by the surreal and fantastical art installation, House of Cards. No experience is necessary, just bring your creativity and imagination.
Pencils and paper will be provided. If you’re comfortable with the outcome of your story, poem or prose, you may like to share it with the group at the end of the session.
