Responses to Nature in an Urban Landscape.
Camden Arts Centre, in collaboration with Maria Fidelis School.
In Spring 2025, I am working in collaboration with Camden Arts Centre and Year 9 students at Maria Fidelis Secondary School, in Euston, to explore various audio and visual responses to nature in an urban landscape. Students will be exploring the world around them through drawing, construction, photography and sound recordings and manipulations. The project is open ended and encourages students to gain confidence in their own creative experimentation, whilst also highlighting the importance that visual art can make to personal health and well being. There will be a student led outcome to the project which we will share in due course.​​​

Experiments in Trajectory
​Research Laboratory, Power House, Orford Ness Nature Reserve.
In May 2025, I will be taking part in this year's Artists Studio Research Laboratory at the Power House, Orford Ness, Suffolk, UK. The residency will take place over a number of weeks where I plan to respond to the unique landscape and heritage of the site through a series of drawings, maps, and photographs that attempt to record trajectory and descent of found objects.
​
Power House is a new creative art lab led by University of Suffolk researchers and artists SE Barnet and Jane Watt in collaboration with Orford Ness National Nature Reserve and the National Trust.
There will be a series of open studio and public events happening throughout the research laboratory. More information to follow!

International Art Residency 53.
PADA Studios, Barreiro, Lisbon, Portugal.
In September 2025, I will be joining Residency 53 at PADA Studios, as part of their International Artist in Residency programme. PADA is located within the abandoned Companhia União Fabril (CUF) industrial park in Barreiro, on the outskirts of Lisbon, Portugal.
As part of the residency, I will be interacting with some areas of the site inaccessible to the general public, where I will explore and respond directly to found materials, local heritage, and the fascinating industrial environment. It will allow me some time to develop ideas and works within my own practice whilst also having the fantastic opportunity to discover and collaborate with other international and local artists.​​
