We will be working together on some multiple perspective video portraits and some experimental performance installations. I will be collaborating with Lee McKenzie, the writer in residence, who is exploring digital mapping as the starting point for creative writing and poetry. The elements, alchemy, sacred geometry and astronomy will be woven into this project, with the main focus on how humans relate to and move through the world around us from a physical, philosophical and spiritual perspective. The project I’ll be working on during the residency is called Axis Mundi which focuses on the connection between the earth and the higher realms, in conjunction with the four cardinal directions of north, south, east and west.
The theme of the residency is collaboration and with such eager and engaged students there is no shortage of opportunities. This time I am based at the very friendly and community spirited Josephine Butler College, living and working on campus. I am absolutely thrilled to be in Durham once more for another very exciting residency. I’ll keep you posted on developments but in the meantime I shall be basking in the glow of being in such talented company. Now I am back in Durham for a new residency, working with the elements and alchemy and I hope to have something for next year that might give me a chance of making this a hat trick. This is the second year I have secured a longlisting, with Phi having caught the judges eye for the 2016 award. It was an intensive and stimulating process to work collaboratively with Prof Giles Gasper to produce a representation of the expansion of medieval cosmos, in a single static work. I am immensely proud to be part of this high calibre award with a longlisting for Empyrean, the culmination of my residency, Sculpting with Light in Durham in 2017. There was a bold mixture of video, photography and kinetic work and a real sense of excitment about the contemporary art scene. It was a vibrant and stimulating evening showcasing the cream of contemporary art, the ones to watch, so to speak. Last night was the opening of the Aesthetica Art Prize 2019 which has hosted at the York Art Gallery.
