Art in Manufacturing Residency Application 

Today I completed an application for the Arts In Manufacturing residency with Standfast and Barracks...Its an exciting opportunity to have time to work with specialist fabric printers...
I wrote about making a large immersive installation:
‘A Dream of Home’  is my way of describing the project I'd love to invest time in. It would provoke questions about what is ‘home’ and how histories of exile and survival might be visualised in a staged room setting that would cross the boundaries between domestic and public, decorative and non-decorative. 

One of the little collages I made this winter sets the tone for the thinking about  a motif I might use in a possible fabric print.
I can imagine the joy of populating a space with decorative objects reminding me of our lost home/s (Odessa, Chemnitz, Lodz) bringing past and present, fictitious and non fictitious together.

Today I finished the second coat of whitewash on the brick in the Rogue Studio. I can't wait for all to come together and move in properly!
