About This Event
In this three-day virtual workshop led by Amy Parrish, we'll explore hybrid forms by merging words and tactile images into a small, handmade publication. Participants will learn acrylic image transfers, a simple zine-making technique, and the process of erasure poetry as a conceptual companion to their photographs.
Here, erasure poetry becomes not just a writing strategy but a conceptual tool, a way to respond to existing texts and reposition them alongside your images. Working within the structure of a zine encourages intentional sequencing and narrative cohesion.
Drawing from more than a decade of integrating these layered approaches into her own work, Parrish will outline ways to extend these methods into a sustained multidisciplinary practice. By the end of the workshop, each participant will have produced a finished publication and developed repeatable techniques for integrating tactile processes into their photographic practice.
This class meets Monday, July 13; Wednesday, July 15; and Friday, July 17 from 7:30 - 8:30 PM. This class is virtual. A link to join the meetings is included in the registration receipt details.
Instructor Bio:
Amy Parrish is an American artist and writer raised on more than 200 acres of Appalachian foothills; now at home in Shantiniketan, West Bengal, India. Her work engages with themes of transformation as well as the intricate connections between land, loss, memory, and identity.
Festival selections include Indian Photo Fest, Beirut Image Festival, Kuala Lumpur PhotoAwards, Angkor Photo Festival, and Scotland’s ACTINIC Festival. Other notable highlights include an NPR feature, the Julia Margaret Cameron Award and studio practice filmed for two seasons of Photovision. The first decade of her career emphasized portraiture, where she was recognized as Best in Portrait for WPPI’s international photo competition. She traveled the US to educate and inspire other industry professionals through workshops and conferences, and she now accepts private portrait commissions just a few weeks each year.
Her writing can be found on a number of platforms, including LensCulture, where she has also reviewed hundreds of portfolios from contemporary photographers around the globe. She’s crafted narratives for nonprofits and social enterprises to help secure grant funding and ran ground operations for anti-trafficking photo programs in India and Thailand.
