You’re invited to take part in an evolving artwork.
Compose is the final ritual in Deborah Kelly’s C.U.L.T (Collaging Using Library Things) project. After months of colouring and cutting alongside the UTS community, these images return to the table once more — ready to be brought into relation.
Take a seat at the long communal table.
Choose from a shared archive of forms coloured and cut by Deborah and participants during the residency.
Arrange them within the marked square. Rotate, layer, test, shift.
In Deborah’s practice, composition is an act of attention. Images are moved again and again until something begins to settle.
When your composition feels complete, photograph it from above using the mounted phone holder. Then return the pieces to the table so the next person can begin.
Nothing is fixed. Nothing is taken away.
Each arrangement is temporary and part of a growing cycle of collective making.
If you’d like to share your work, tag @UTSLibrary and let it join the wider C.U.L.T archive.
