IN-PERSON ASL DrawNow! Workshop
Join teaching artists Joyce Hom and Nic Annette Miller for an IN-PERSON participatory drawing workshop presented in American Sign Language (ASL) and inspired by our current exhibition Joan Jonas: Animal, Vegetable, Mineral. Chosen from more than 2,000 works on paper drawn by Jonas over a sixty-year period, Animal, Vegetable, Mineral examines the significance of the artist’s use of the medium of drawing as a recording device, an expression of the notion of process, and a way to bring imagery of the natural world into her performances and environments. Jonas’s drawings depict dogs and other mammals like horses and foxes, as well as birds, butterflies, fish, snowflakes, shells, rocks, leaves, and even rivulets of water. Over the years, the artist has also drawn herself, isolating individual body parts like her hands, face, and torso, creating atomized self-portraits that are as studied and carefully rendered as her lexicons of non-human animals. Please note this IN-PERSON workshop will be in ASL with no voice interpretation. It is free and open to the signing community.
