What familiar objects exist in your mind even when they no longer exist in reality?
Memory Postcard is a workshop exploring memories in relation to flooding. We welcome all people who were impacted either directly or indirectly by floods.
During this workshop you will use paper to build a piece of furniture from your past, then photograph and take home a postcard-sized print of your memory. We will provide templates as a guide for you to learn sculptural papercraft and modelmaking skills as well as photography and lighting skills. You will also learn how to use photogrammetry to scan your paper sculpture to turn it into a 3D digital object. We will place all of the objects into virtual reality so you can experience the miniatures as life-sized furniture using a VR headset.
When: Saturday 26 July, 10.30AM–1.30PM
Where: Benalla Art Gallery– Patricia [Pat] Gardner Studio
Price: FREE
About the Artists:
Isobel Knowles and Van Sowerwine are collaborating artists who work with miniatures to recreate real and imagined spaces.

The project examines the experience of floods and the objects and spaces lost, and prominently features stories and first-hand accounts from flood affected communities. The World Came Flooding In prototype was presented at International Film Festival Rotterdam CineMart 2023, and has been developed with the assistance of Frame Documentary, and produced with the assistance of VicScreen. Principal production funding from Screen Australia. A Film Camp production.
