Scotland Residency / DCA

2018

Work created while on a six-week residency at Dundee Contemporary Arts printshop in Dundee, Scotland.

This amazing opportunity was a competitive AIR connect artist residency exchange between the Cleveland Print Room and DCA. Check out Katie Ravenscraig’s work created while she was at CPR here. And a little write up on my time at DCA here.

 

I made loads of work while at DCA. Please click through on each image to see full series and further explanations for each.

City Club Mural 

While I created the original design for this mural in 2017, it required reworking while I was on residency at DCA. The final piece was printed there.

I was lucky to be able to take many wonderful workshops while at DCA, in both book binding and paper making.
