Please join Priscilla Rose Howe, SCAPE Public Art’s Season 2023 Community Engaged artist, for an interactive an art-making picnic and workshop inspired by using various drawing techniques and developing ideas around self-exploration and self-presentation in fantasy portraiture.
Priscilla is an Ōtautahi artist whose figurative works explore ideas around phenomenology, queerness and the supernatural. They use mostly dry mediums, including coloured pencil, oil pastel and graphite to render their striking scenes, drawing on cinematic influences and elements of world building and fantasy. Some scenes also take inspiration from dreams of an imagined future that exists beyond the current social climate. Priscilla’s public artwork for SCAPE Season 2023 will act as a call for more permanent queer spaces in Ōtautahi.
