I just wrapped up a two month residency at the Ellis-Beauregard Foundation Residency in Rockland, ME. Actually, it was cut short due to the arrival of COVID here in the US, but despite that inconvenience it was an INCREDIBLE experience. My goal for the experience was to test and complete a new installation concept for my upcoming exhibition at Common Street Arts this summer. It was perfect situation to focus on this project - just enough space, fantastic light, and plenty of high-quality feedback from visiting curators and fellow residents. The opportunity really allowed me to explore an exciting new direction in my work that will no doubt play a significant role in my studio practice going forward. Since I left the space earlier than anticipated, I was unable to finish the new installation. But I know it will work!!! So stay tuned to see what comes of this project.
Here are some pics of my studio at EBF, courtesy of photographer David Clough. Fun fact - the EBF studios are located in the old Lincoln Street School building in Rockland, which meant I was living and creating in an old classroom.
