The Old School Residency | Gorna Lipnista, Bulgaria | 2022
A several weeks long art residency over the summer manifested in multiple series of drawings and mixed media work on the topic of memoryscapes, intersecting references to cultural heritage, physical and cultural landscapes, and mapping.
Inspired by the culture heritage, landscape and myths of Bulgaria as well as the lack of representation of woman in historic family trees (as is the case in many other contexts), I’m incorporating some anonymous portraits of Bulgarian women in attempts to create an artistic commemoration to the many unknown or forgotten women of the past and weave them back into the landscape and into our consciousness through artistic intervention.
