Individual Residencies
2022 | Lydia Halcrow
For me the residency was about a slow tuning into a place that I do not know, as a mode to test a series of processes developed through working with a place I know well, in the UK. I see this as an open-ended jumping off point to test ideas / ways of working. Rather than leading to specific outcomes by the end of the residency, I developed approaches that I started to experiment with.
I undertook a series of daily walks in the environment close to the residency, alone and with others, to gather materials, thoughts, conversations and ideas (slowly). I liked to not know where this may end up, to be taken on an unexpected journey through different planned and unplanned interactions. The approach I adopted is playful and more about the doing/making than the thing being made.
