Dive into the hybrid cut-and-paste world of collage in 'Piecing it Together' – a collaborative workshop led by artist Deborah Kelly where participants are invited to reconfigure images from 'The Patient'. The workshops coincide with Kelly’s own solo exhibition in UNSW Galleries 'Scenes from the Death of Books'. Participants are encouraged to bring their own sourced imagery, photograph, and textual material to collage with.

Presented in conjunction with 'The Patient' at UNSW Galleries. 

'The Patient' explores the ways in which artists engage with powerful human experiences in the fields of health, biological science and medicine, contributing to discourse on the representation of illness, disease, care, individual agency and what it is to be human. Artists present new experimental works and ongoing projects across a range of media, connecting to us as viewers (and participants) in ways that are variously difficult, fearless, funny and sometimes unlovely.
