Confluences: Writing, Composing, and Making Art from Art

Poet Sheila Packa and artists Sara Pajunen (musician, composer, artist), Wendy Durrwachter (musician & composer), Kathy McTavish (digital artist and composer) and Leslie Hughes (textile artist) give a reading and artist talk called “Confluences: Writing, Composing, and Making Art from Art.”

“Sometimes an encounter with certain artworks, music, or images of others can open a door and trigger a procession of images, associations, and reveries. The installation is a collection of work that reflects such encounters.”

The audience is invited to participate by way of postcards (bring their own or pick one up at the event) to write or draw an image, association, or reverie triggered by another’s piece of art.

Surface Displacements published by Wildwood River Press is a book of poems that reflect the waterways and people’s lives in the North. The book is available for sale and as well as images from Sara Pajunen’s collection, Mine Song. The photograph on the book cover is by Sara Pajunen.
