JUDITH STEWART – Residency
The first 2 days have been spent establishing a rhythm – getting used to the space, pacing myself, realising that it’s already 3 o’clock and I haven’t eaten … The way I’ve done this has been to focus on the material aspects of the work I wanted to try out, the stuff I haven’t got the clear physical space needed to really see whether what I think will work in my head does do it in practice. My time is normally spent out in the field or at the computer, so the physicality of the images really gives me an opportunity to experience them in a different way as they are dramatically different and at the moment I’m pleasantly surprised (I think). Today I’m going to add some video footage to the mix, provided I can get all of my technical equipment to speak to each other. This is proving an ideal setting – the shrieks of the geese outside providing an additional soundtrack.
