2015 ART PHOTOGRAPHY TOUR7 – 21 April 2015
Midnight at the Oasis...a contemplative, meditative, slow-art approach to
photography... with SUSAN PURDYACTM Specialist Art Tours work with selected artists who havea culturally sensitive approach to place and a specialist mediaor area of practice that provides a focus for a cultural holidaywith a difference. Well recognised for her work in photo-media,Susan Purdy takes a contemplative 'slow art' approach withher photography.
MOROCCO... Marrakech – Atlas Mountains – Sahara...Rather than skating across the surface, a meditative pace on this 14 day tour will allow for an emphasis on sensingthe world around us to allow space and time for images to rise internally and attain a complexity and depth to thework making considered responses to the culture and landscape on hand. Susan will be looking at plants andflowers in the wild, as well as cultured gardens and subsistence farms in the Atlas Mountains and oasis valleys of theSahara. Workshops using available light, setting up additional props, fresh produce and still-life objects will aim tocreate collaborative and individual images and compositions responding to the people and environment
Susan will provide guidance with an aim to facilitate opportunities for creative expression. Her approach to usingphotography in alternative ways will include; night photography in the garden 'painting' with torch light;photographing plants over found printed images collected en-route, to create 2D/3D ‘postcards”; early morningrambles through the garden collecting leaves and flowers to record the botanical profile of a place. A major focus ofthe tour will be sharing ideas on keeping an artists journal, recording experiences and collecting sources ofinspiration for future development.
ACTM art tours reveal the wealth and beauty of the Moroccan landscape and culture including traditional musicperformance, visits to artisan workshops and historic collections of rare artefacts. Partners are also welcome to jointhe tour and will be well catered for.
