Workshop Details and Biographies The Lucid Image - Paul
Kilsby and Liz Ellis “The Lucid Image” was a great success in 2002 and 2003, and we have great hopes and anticipation for a similarly stimulating and fulfilling time in August 2004. Paul and Liz had never met, and Sam’s belief in their ability to work together in a dynamic way was justified! Both Paul and Liz will contribute lots of energy, arts experience, know-how, teaching, leading and collaborating skills. Participants will bring to the workshop their own skills and agendas, whilst looking for different outcomes and solutions. Almost anything is possible – doors will open, fresh thinking will abound! Liz writes for “The Lucid Image” “Artists books, the exploration of narratives and the opportunities of chance are some of the elements Liz Ellis will bring to this workshop. Please bring a wish to experiment. No experience is necessary.” Paul writes for “The Lucid Image” “My contribution will take the form of an examination of the way images become lucid, in terms of meaning, allusion, metaphor, in the visual and the verbal domains. My method will be to explore the medium of the photograph, but 'getting at it’ in unusual ways - through film and through story telling. I will use two or three films and three or four stories, by Calvino, Tournier and myself; as well as two or three slide talks, one on my own work. I shall be talking about my new work exploring Vermeer's use of the camera obscura.”

Statement on work Liz Ellis trained at Central St Martins School of Art, graduating from the Fine Art and Critical Studies BA programme and then returning to do her MA in print and photography in order to satisfy her curiosity in how to print photographs on metal and pillows…(among other recalcitrant surfaces). She is especially interested in widening social and intellectual access to galleries through gallery education. Liz has exhibited widely in the UK with particular interest and experience in displaying and distributing her work in spaces outside the gallery context, e.g. as an insert in a political magazine, in a broad sheet for café customers to take away in Boston, USA and as a celebration for the Russian poet Mayakovsky in a London film-makers co-op. Liz Ellis is skilled in collaborative work, for example with community organisations, education (including adult education and an FE college) and welcomes further collaborative work, for example with architects, designers or publishers. Liz currently works as an artist educator at Tate Modern. Click here for a list of exhibitions and other details on Liz Ellis V E R M E E R ’ S
