Hard to believe it’s been a month since I left! Banff still feels like yesterday.
Immense gratitude to , who supported me through this new adventure into wood and wax while I had almost no prior experience. The experiments I started at Banff are now finding their way into new works.
To the faculty — , Jacob Korczynski, and — your talks, workshops, and studio visits helped me understand my own practice, opened my mind to new ways of making and to what art can be.
To all the staff who worked hard behind the scenes to make a residency like this happen - thank you!! I’ve never felt so supported and pampered while making art.
And to everyone who was part of this — I feel so lucky to have been among such a kind, open, and supportive cohort. I’d be literally tagging everyone because I learned so much from each one of you, through studio visits, conversations over meals, or simply being around you and your work. What I picked up is still unfolding in my practice.
This first residency is going to be a hard one to beat.
