Last week at Penland was a transformative experience! I was granted a full scholarship to study with the amazing sculptural artist Aisha Harrison. (https://aishaharrison.com/home.html)
Originally I intended to go to Penland to create a surrealist sculptural planter for my own use. I did this- but gained so much more than I thought I would!
Aisha shared with us tools that she uses in her practice to access the rich imagery in her personal “well”. These tools are ones that I am planning to incorporate into my art practice. They include touch painting, meditation and journaling.
I am so happy to have had this amazing experience of working with Aisha. Also everyone in the class became a friend. Penland is an art utopia that I hope to return to.
