Individual Residencies
2023 | Jacqueline Steinmetz
At The Museum of Loss and Renewal I took time to explore the natural elements and principles of sound in space and time by listening to nature’s rhythm and force, inertia and momentum, emerging and dying. In this residency I leant into themes of new beginnings for my writing project Sounds of Transformation.
“We cannot change anything unless we accept it.”
― C.G. Jung, Modern Man in Search of a Soul
I am fascinated by the sounds of the forest and how they influence my perception of life. I experiment with creative writing techniques inspired by the environment around me. I use movement, collage making and drawing as starting points. In many ways I experience writing as a result of a dialogue between stopping and moving. Reflecting on my identity as a human in the world I belong to, I explore my relationship with myself as part of nature.
