Upcoming Residensies
STARworks Ceramics, Star, North Carolina
August 1- 27, 2021
STARworks Ceramics has been researching local North Carolina clay materials since 2005. They are the only ceramic supply company in US using local wild clays, utilizing a filter press process to create their own custom clay bodies.
I'll be working there for a month of August. My plan is to develop a set of utilitarian ware and research ceramic history of North Carolina.
Studio Faire, Nérac, France
March 17 - April 13, 2022
Studio Faire is a contemporary art space in South West France, providing residencies for Artists, Writers, Designers and all other creative practitioners.
During my stay there, for four weeks I'll be immersed into the development of new ideas and mainly concentrate on drawing and writing. I'm at a stage when I have to make changes in my work and start a new direction. I feel that I reached a certain proficiency in my building and decoration skills and need to work more on my concepts and what I actually want to say with my sculptures.
DRAWinternational, Caylus, France
April 17 – May 28, 2022
I'm going to spend two month at DRAWinternational AIR, the place that fosters artistic research to promote and reveal ideas within a contemporary context. It offers international artists, teachers and students the opportunity to extend professional practice through cultural exchange.
I'll be working on the new series of drawings for my sculptural work.
