Paper Flowers Richard Brooks
Tuesday, 7 October 2025
6:00pm - 8:00pm
Pop-Up Shop, Newman Town Square, Lee Lane

Hiding in the vastness of the Pilbara for the past thirteen years, Richard Brooks (RIB) has made use of the generosity of space and time, the lack of interruptions and the absence of personal relationships to formulate a uniqueness and a viewpoint that might be professionally described as an autistic tick. Unconstrained from the criticisms of his peers; as there are as yet none, RIB has been free to roam to the sometimes-terrifying edges beyond cognitive acceptance and often returns with armfuls of stories to tell and gloriously unique ways of telling them. Whimsically sullen, melodically insightful and delightfully stoic RIB is the commentary the end of times needs to hear.

Along with a boot full of paint, Richard has been collecting egg cartons and hundreds of pipe cleaners.

This workshop explores the dimensions of egg carton flower building - you will make ‘mulla mulla’ and create a bouquet of flowers to put in a standing toilet paper roll vase.

Capacity limited to 15 attendees.
