The Cad Factory: Portraits

Composite image with a background of four drawn portraits hung on a wall. Composited on top of this are two circles containing headshots. One circle placed towards the upper left has a headshot of someone with blond hair, shaved on the sides. They are wearing lipstick. the other circle placed towards the bottom right contains headshots of two people. The person on the left has dark hair, is wearing glasses has a face mask pulled down and is making a gesture with two fingers of each hand pointing at each other, held infront of them at should height. Net to them is another person with should length blonde hair and glasses. Everyone is smiling.

Sarah McEwan (The Cad Factory) will be collaborating with artists Layla Bacayo and Dave Nicholls to create portraits of Museum visitors, each using their own unique approach. Sarah will talk with sitters to create ‘affective portraits’ that aim to capture a feeling rather than likeness of the person; Layla will draw the sitter’s quirky and humourous alter-ego; and Dave will create a more traditional portrait both Layla and Dave work at the Art Factory, a supported studio at Riverina Community College in Wagga Wagga.

These portraits will be hung in the gallery space for the remainder of the weekend with participants able to collect their work afterwards. Please note this is a drop-in, non-ticketed activity with varying duration. Visitors will be invited to sit for an artist when there is availability.
