I will be curating the work of 7 amazing artists; Susan Andrews Grace, Jim Holyoak, Hildur Jonasson, Maggie Shirley,  Eimear Laffan, Genevieve Roberston and Carol Wallace.

BOXOPROJECTS Residency:

For the month of April 2024, I was the artist in residence the BoxoPROJECTS Residency located outside of Joshua Tree, California. During this residency period I began research on the project Moth Sensorium. A multidisciplinary project that explores the secondary senses of sound and smell. By doing so, de-centering of the dominant sense of sight and welcoming information garnered from these secondary senses.

Much gratitude for the assistance an Individual Project Grant from  from the British Colombia Arts Council.

Part of the research for the body of new work, Boat without a Boat was done while on residency at the Sointual Art Shed on Malcolm Island in 2022. I am grateful to have spent a month in this gorgeous oceanic environment.
