Artist Residency: Japan
Studio Kura
February 2025

In January 2025 I travelled to Japan for a holiday, and to take part in the Studio Kura artist residency alongside Brett Piva in Itoshima, Japan. We shared a loft studio in a rural community by the sea, where I continued my habit of beach combing (between high winds and snowfall) and collected many washed up items to include in small sculptures and as reference for paintings.

I took many photos during the 6 weeks spent exploring Japan, and am looking forward to sharing my work from the residency, as well as the future work I am looking forward to making in response to my time overseas.
