For this workshop, Artist Sydney McLeod will lead participants to explore self-portraiture using mirrors and blind contour drawing in order to engage with our self-image outside of social media, experimenting with an array of different drawing materials. By using blind couture drawing we engage with what we see on a deeper level, and lower the stakes of creating a ‘good’ image which allows for a playful approach.

This project was supported by the Artists Creative Fund.

About the Artist: Sydney McLeod is a charcoal artist, draftsman and bookbinder working out of Tulsa, OK. They graduated from Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, OR with a concentration in printmaking in 2019. Since 2017, their work has focused on the language and connotations of chronic pain and invisible illness as it coincides with their experience. After receiving the Artists Creative Fund Grant in 2025, Sydn

ey has been building bridges between drawing and bookmaking through installation.
