The Work Behind the Work

One work, from first idea to finished form.

An illustrated masterclass, in the room and as a podcast. Demos, sketches, rough cuts, discarded versions, the stuck point, and the decision that it was done.

In connection with

FlaxCo

Made for Artists. Built for Community.

The Odeon

A home for gathering, serious making, and public offering.

“A line will take us hours maybe; yet if it does not seem a moment’s thought, our stitching and unstitching has been naught.”
W. B. Yeats

The evening

Not a career retrospective. One significant work, taken apart in public. FlaxCo participants may help prepare artifacts, watch a soundcheck, or stay for a short exchange.

Also a conversation

You can hear it later. In the room, you are close to the process: the sketch, the discard, the moment someone decided it was finished.

Questions we care about

  • Where did it begin?
  • What did you throw away?
  • Where did you get stuck?
  • How did you know it was finished?
