ABOUT
In 2020 during lockdown, artist Assunta Ruocco’s home studio became a space for art and childcare. Unable to work independently, Assunta began a collaborative practice with her daughter Louise. Using the household scanner and printer, their drawing evolved through layering interventions and exchanges. The mother-daughter duo are now experimenting with involving other artists and collaborators in their process.
Assunta and Lou’s After School Art Club is a transportable participatory studio for art workshops delivered by Assunta Ruocco and her 9 years old daughter Lou. It is made up of a quilt, cushions, and aprons printed with some of our drawings and mixed media works, and digital printer copier which allow us to share our methods, developed during our 4 year long collaboration, making collaborative works by layering interventions with traditional media and simple digital technology, for example making new compositions straight on the scanner glass.
Sitting on the quilt and cushions and wearing digitally printed aprons participants are invited to explore our methods and transform our drawings.
