Workshop Series Description: How to Treat an Image Photography captures a moment, but what happens when we intervene in that moment? How to Treat an Image is a workshop series exploring physical and conceptual interventions into the photographic image. Through acts of destruction, manipulation, and reconstruction, participants will push photography beyond its traditional boundaries, questioning its role as a fixed record. Blurring the lines between photography, sculpture, and performance, this series challenges participants to rethink photographic materiality. Whether working with their own images or found materials, they will engage in processes that transform photography into a tactile, multidimensional form of storytelling. Workshop Description In this hands-on collage workshop, participants will explore two core techniques McGean has developed in her own practice: one that involves slicing and interlacing photographic images to form woven-like compositions, and another that reconstructs them into precise, tile-based patterns reminiscent of mosaics. Through these processes, we’ll experiment with how cutting, shifting, and recomposing can be used to disrupt the original image and create a new visual language—one that challenges narrative, memory, and form. The workshop encourages intuitive play as much as structural intention, offering a space to reconsider the meanings embedded in found photography. Participants are invited to bring their own collected imagery, old family photos, vintage ephemera, or discarded prints, however a curated selection of found materials will also be available. No previous experience is necessary, just an interest in working with your hands and rethinking the familiar. By the end, you’ll leave with your own reassembled artwork. Participants must bring the following materials: roll of 1 inch masking tape2 double sided tape rollersglue stickpaper for mounting collage (printer paper is fine)pencil & eraser
