dimensional you workshop & weaving the unknown, 2024
dimensional you workshop
Line from out to in, in to out. We draw, we dance together, tracing the unseen threads that connect us all. Together, we weave a journey of shared experience, where each line and step brings us closer to the essence of who we are. Thanks for the beautiful experiences by @gavbarbey during his residency.

Throughout 2024, Gav has completed a trio of workshops named Dimensional You. The first was held at the Godown Arts Centre in Kuala Lumpur during Gav’s five-day artist residency. During the workshop, locals were invited to participate in shadow sculpture construction, mark-making through movement, mask-making, continuous line meditation and more.
Gav has since conducted a second Dimensional You workshop at Gang Gang Galleries/Platypus Waterhole.

Weaving the Unknown
Mark-making meets rattan weaving. During Gav’s residency at @thegodownkl, we visited Uncle Eng. After the visit, we also discussed how to “preserve” the trace of Uncle Eng’s movements, intertwining two dimensional portraits by Gav with three dimensional rattan creations by Uncle Eng to explore this legacy and keep this artistry alive.
