Rebecca Lacey - Intensive Art Mentoring Residency - Life in Ruins

My practice centres around abstract painting, photography, poetry and acting. Colour is a prominent part of my expressive language. Recently, I have become interested in creating a more textured surface using discarded paper bags, amazon packaging and organic material, to draw attention to the natural world and the cataclysmic risk we face.

RuptureXIBT Writing Workshop with Anna Johnson
Sep 13
RuptureXIBT Writing Workshop with Anna Johnson

In this workshop we'll explore writing created through engaging with works of art (from painting to literature), known as ekphrastic writing. This practice moves beyond the descriptive to create its own world in response to an artwork. Together, we will look at examples of ekphrastic literature, including poetry by WH Auden. We will work through short writing exercises (drawing on RuptureXIBIT's wonderful collection of art books!) to explore how this technique can help us develop our own writing voice.Book now

WHAT IS RUPTURE MENTORING?
We help you take a hard look at what makes a “creative practice,” (art practice, writing practice, or underwater basket weaving practice) not at “how to get a gallery or agent, sell your work or ‘navigate the art or writing world’.”

Not sure? Many of our students take part in both writing & practice mentoring.
We recommend joining a workshop or getting in touch to see if Mentoring is the right fit for you.

RUPTUREXIBIT (Studio, Art Mentoring, Writing Mentoring & Coaching)

RuptureXIBIT is an inclusive, artist-run space/art incubator located in Hampton Wick, London, home to Art Mentoring & Coaching workshops, intensive immersive Residencies, and experimental exhibitions.

Over the past five years, the Rupture team has worked with over 1,000 international artists at all stages of their careers, providing a platform for artistic growth and collaboration.

We meet each artist where they need to be met, and provide the time, space, and rigor to examine and expand individual practices.

We believe in the power of creativity and the transformative impact of art.

Our commitment to supporting artists is made possible through the generosity of our funding partners, whose contributions help cultivate artistic growth and innovation. Through their support, we provide essential resources, mentorship, and opportunities that empower artists to thrive. Together, we are building a vibrant community where creativity flourishes, and artists can reach their full potential.
