I’m very excited to announce that I’ve been selected as one of two artists for the AirSpace Graduate Residency Scheme! I’ve been excited all week since I found out, but I did not want to mention it anywhere online until the official announcement was made.
I will be spending the next six months working within the gallery and studios there, culminating in a solo exhibition during January 2016… every graduates dream! I’m determined to use the opportunity to its full potential, I do not simply want to hide away in the studio for six months, have my solo show and then leave. I really want to get involved with the artist led community they have set up there, and use this as the first step towards creating a career in the arts for myself.
I’ve already begun to consider how I plan to use the six months, having given them a rough guideline during my interview I want to make it into a more solid ‘plan’. I will be using this blog to document my time during the residency.
