Falling in Love
(with Angie Quick)
February, 2021
Making art — engaging with the creative act — is a process of constantly falling in love. Join painter, poet, and performer Angie Quick for five lessons in love-falling, each centering catharsis and the construction of love letters to the cosmos.
- Letters: engaging works by Emily Dickinson, Tracey Emin, Louise Bourgeois, Anne Carson, Cy Twombly, and more.
- Rituals/tributes/offerings/altars/ephemera: gathering concrete inspiration from immediate surroundings.
- Testaments/citations/lists: creating small works on paper that play with erasure, censoring, and bleeding.
- Portrait & nuance: self-portraiture, desire portraits, and scribbling / dance.
- Voyeurism/mindfulness: drawing love stories, love notes, and windows of desire.
