“It's been really helpful to have structure to help focus my practice. The feedback was constructive and practical and has helped me better understand my priorities as an artist. It was helpful to chat through projects in early stages of development and different strategies for presenting these works to a public.“

“The workbook writing prompts were super generative. The feedback felt sharp, encouraging, and always honest.”

“The critical feedback and ideation during studio visits helped me develop parts of my project I had been stuck on. Talking through how to strategically organize my website, along with broader professional practice advice, was also great.”

“The residency gave me a valuable period of focused studio time in New York City to develop my current project. Having a dedicated space allowed me to step outside my usual environment and concentrate on developing the spatial and computational elements of the work through sustained studio experimentation.”

“The remote residency was an incredibly helpful experience! I pursued this opportunity so that I could get feedback and guidance on a project that required coding and programming lights. Laura provided me with so many resources that helped the project come to life, and I'm grateful for her mentorship with the logistics of the project and the conceptual development for a suspended installation that utilizes a motion sensor to trigger LED lights in a lightning pattern.“

One of the most valuable opportunities was learning how curators approach and evaluate materials from their perspective. This gave me a different way of looking at my own practice and helped me reconsider how I organize and present my professional materials. It has been especially useful as I continue refining how I communicate my work and artistic development.
