The benefits of working away on a residency or exhibition;
New places to respond to
New people to work with
New work to be influenced by
Time to dedicate to just producing new work
Space to think and reflect about how this fits in with my wider practice
The problem with coming home again;
Day-to-day distractions
Other work (although I shouldn’t complain)
Loss of continuity (like not updating this blog for a fortnight)
The benefits of being home again after a residency of exhibition;
An opportunity to put research and reflection into practice in the form of new applications
Seeing new opportunities for my work
A feeling of ambition to improve on what i’ve started.
