渡海畫 | Inter-island Sea Seeing and Sketching

潘雋希 | Charis Poon Public sales begin 25 October 5pm 橫水渡是連結島民往返各處的重要交通工具。但假如我們不將它視為通勤的交通工具，而是一場出海探索的邀請呢？假如我們嘗試不用手機，而是用雙手，記錄渡輪上所見的風光呢？ 在這個繪畫工作坊中，參加者將乘搭橫水渡，由坪洲至梅窩、梅窩至芝麻灣、芝麻灣至長洲，或反方向由長洲至坪洲，在這三程航行的全程中，將窗外所見繪於紙上。參加者需專注凝視窗外景致，隨心描繪觸動自己的細節，並依照當下的感受與印象在一幅長卷上落筆留痕，描繪連結這四個碼頭之間、渡輪上所見的海天景色。 繪畫是觀察與思考世界的絕佳方式，而且無需經驗；本工作坊歡迎所有願意坐上渡輪，探索離島並參與集體描繪的朋友。工作坊將於首程渡輪出發前，在碼頭進行熱身活動，並於最後一段程航行結束後，設有短暫的分享討論時間。 The Inter-islands Ferry is a crucial mode of transportation to get island residents to their destinations. But what if we treat the ferry not as a commuter vessel, but as an invitation for a sea-faring adventure? What if we try to record what we see from the ferry not with our phones but with our hands? In this drawing workshop, participants ride the Inter-islands Ferry between Peng Chau, Mui Wo, Chi Ma Wan, Cheung Chau and back again, sketching the view from the ferry for the entire duration of the journey. Paying close attention to whatever lies outside the window, you’ll draw freely according to whichever details speak to you, or whatever feelings or impressions compel you to make a mark with your hand. You will draw all your observations on a long scroll of folded paper, resulting in a roving panorama at journey’s end; together we can see our collective perception of the seascapes and landscapes connecting these four ports. Drawing is a wonderful method with which to see and think about the world; this workshop is open to all people interested in ferry exploration and contributing to a collective depiction of the inter-island-scapes. No drawing experience is necessary. The workshop will include warm-up exercises on the pier prior to boarding the first ferry and a short discussion time after the last leg of the trip.
