Overview

Get Tarn to Iceland!

I've been lucky enough to be accepted into an Art Residency at NES studios in the North-West of Iceland in a town called Skagastr�nd in March 2017.

What? Cool! So what's NES Residency?

NES Residency is an New Zealand multi-disciplinary art residency that is housed in a studio which used to be the main fish processing plant of Skagastr�nd. This is the 9th year since its inception and is one of the largest Residencies in Iceland, hosting 90-120 artists from all backgrounds per year.

What will I create?

Drawings. And lots of them, hopefully!

My drawings are evolving constantly, based around different ideas and themes. In the Residency I hope to produce works influenced directly by the foreign surrounding environment. One of my main goals is to engage the viewer through random associations between perspective and objects.

I am also interested in drawing from the subconscious, trying to free myself from artistic convention & everyday thinking. Can one be purely free when drawing, or is the line or dot you make already pre-disposed?

How can you help?

I have come to Boosted because I simply can't afford the flights & living expenses while I'm there. Your help will literally fund my Residency! I'll be forever grateful.
