WORKSHOP 1

Created via a series of prompts where participants had to remember a meaningful natural place on earth. They were then asked to design “planets” out of collage materials of topographical images of Earth and outerspace. They were then asked to write to observations around the collage imagery and craft a 10 line poem combining their remembrances of the natural world (I remember) and visuals from their collaged planets (Here I see).

Here I see the icy outside world.
I remember the breezy wind caressing the azure teal water as I teased the sand. 
Here I see the water washing away every negativity.
I remember the fresh air that purified our lungs. 
I remember the warm weather that comforted every pedestrian in the cold winter.
Here I see a tree spreading hope.
Here I see the sands untouched and protected by the sea and this tree.
Here I see stars lighting up to brighten the day.
I remember the seagulls singing to their friends as they travelled through the beautiful sky.
I remember the sound of laughter from a family gathering and having a picnic nearby.
