Collage by Amber Robles-Gordon

To accompany Multiplicity: Blackness in Contemporary American Collage, The Phillips Collection presents a dynamic artist-led adult series exploring the depth of collaging followed by a reception with the artist. Each Sunday from August 4-September 1, an internationally renowned artist will share their unique creative process and lead the participants in the creation of an artwork. Each session highlights a different form of collaging. Materials included. All levels welcome.

Amber Robles-Gordon Workshop

The intent of the workshop is to assist participants with connecting with their inner narrator and narrative. I will lead activities to help distill these roles, and then align them with their senses, memory recall, external resources, and visual expressions. Participants are welcome to bring a picture, fabric, and memorabilia to include in their collage.
