Update on Iceland

I've had to cancel the November residency in Iceland. I received a letter last week and my application for funding wasn't successful and I was dependent on that  to get going. I would've liked to get back and I am disappointed to not be doing the residency but on the up side I am starting a new body of work and I'll be kept busy with that.

The plan in Iceland was to work on sketches and drawings to incorporate Icelandic folklore into my practice and introduce new characters. I will instead be working with new characters based on figures of Irish mythology.

New Residency in Iceland

I've been accepted onto a new residency in Iceland for November 2016. I'll be working at Here Creative Centre in Stodvarfjordur. I'm looking forward to going back and after doing a 3 month residency during the summer in 2012 I decided to apply for a winter residency this time around. It's also on the Eastern side of Iceland. It's just for a month but I'm hoping to possibly have a small exhibition at some stage before I come home.





I'm hoping to use this opportunity to incorporate Icelandic folklore into my work but I'm not going to concern myself too much with tying it in immediately with my current practice, I'll wait and see what happens and play a little bit.
