residency
#fjordlife in winter
Earlier this year, for three weeks in March 2019, I lived in a small town on the Eastern coast of Iceland called Seyðisfjörður to participate in an artist residency at Skaftfell Centre for Visual Art. The Printing Matter Residency was an opportunity to work alongside international and local artists to create works on paper, ultimately culminating in artist books and a group exhibition in the local Technical Museum.

This was the first image I printed during the residency. What I consider to be a ‘pure’ litho: just straight crayon drawing. This is one tier of the majestic Hengifoss waterfall that I hiked to with another resident on my first day in Iceland. I think it ended up looking like an illustration that might be found in a book of Nordic fairy tales…

From June 18 - 22, 2018 I participated in the Print Garden Artist Residency, run by Print London the at Satellite Project Space. It was an inaugural experimental summer program incorporating three weeks of artist residencies into a collaborative exhibition at the month’s end. My week was the last in the series of workshops, and began with a Cut Paper workshop lead by Tania Love. It required us to cut papers that were previously made into screenprints and monotype prints, by participants from the previous weeks.
