Professional Development Bursary 2017

This blog will document my experiments with using colonial commodities to make new work (making inks from cacao, coffee, charcoal, mica, tea; paper from sugar cane, cotton and rice fibres)

An a-n Professional Development Bursary supported me to go to Newcastle’s ‘Moving Parts’ festival. This blog is a repository for my findings.

As a recipient of the Professional Development Bursary, I asked for support to investigate the potential of identify potential galleries with whom I could develop a relationship and possibly gain gallery representation. My mentor worked with me over 9 months to realise this.
