By digitally assembling photography and archives, Hayley Millar Baker constructs complex visual insights to past, present and future realms. Her practice uses storytelling as a methodology to reclaim and re-author constructs of history, narrating inherited and personal stories.

  • In this one-off workshop, Hayley Millar Baker will teach participants a range of Photoshop techniques for the purposeful construction of imagery. You will learn how to create a digital image that narrates a personal memory or inherited story.

  • Participants will need to bring along 10-20 of their own digital images on a USB or Dropbox.

  • ACE Open’s workshop program provides a unique opportunity to learn new skills and engage with leading contemporary artists in a creative, social and participatory environment. Designed to suit a range of skill levels and interests, these artist-led programs offer all audiences – from curious gallery-goers through to practicing artists – an opportunity to learn a range of creative techniques through hands-on, practical classes. All materials and light refreshments will be provided.
