Tape It! by Briony Barr

Imagine a world where drawings wander off the page in search of a new adventure! Welcome to Tape It! Over the next three months, Hyphen invites you to be part of a collaborative art making experience in their Playspace Gallery, where you can create drawings using colourful washi tape on the walls, windows and floor of the gallery! Tape It! is based on the innovative work of Brisbane-based artist Briony Barr, who is interested in how rules can be used to shape a creative process and how the deconstruction of an artwork can lead to new inspiration. Briony has designed and facilitated collaborative drawings that have lasted from several hours to several months, involving children, families, students, artists, scientists and lots of tape! Over the course of the Tape It! installation, you will be invited to return to the space for more focused "undrawing" workshops that explore sculpture using upcycled tape. During these workshops you will have the chance to remove some of the tape drawings and re-use this material to make jewellery, balls or other unexpected objects.
