Access to professional workshops, studios and a critical dialogue through AA2A will allow me to develop my practice in a more considered and consistent way than I am currently able to achieve. I will focus on creating a series of light installations that evolve recent work exploring the interplay between glass, metal and light, particularly prisms and plated metal. Access to the wood and metal working studios will give me an opportunity to fabricate scaled-up and more complex designs.

Having spent the last 7 years developing an Art Space in Birmingham, I feel equipped to offer an insight into arts development within the University structure and hope the exchange to be insightful for all parties involved. I am particularly keen to network with peers and hope that conversations begun with them, students and University Staff will continue beyond the duration of the residency.
