I am about to commence a year long residency at Harrington Mill Studios in Long Eaton. I am extremely excited about the coming year and cannot wait to get started.
Since leaving University in June and having confirmation of the residency in July I have been involved in exhibitions and festivals throughout the summer with barely little to time to think about my work and the direction that it is going. This has been quite unusual for me as at University there was plenty of time to do this. So the residency is a welcome focus for me. It will allow me the freedom to continue to make work but also give me an environment to think about my work again and allow me to take it in new directions.
A wonderful thing about the residency is that I am in a position to make the work that I want to make, there are no restrictions or requirements about my work. I will also be involved in leading a community art project and will be involved in some exhibitions.
My aim is to keep an ongoing blog about my work and the residency. I think it wil be really good to give other people an insight into what the residency is about.
