Fellowship and Residencies: 1983–1985
Between 1983 and 1985:
Fellow, Artescape Fellowship, Sturton-by-Stow, Lincoln.
Artist-in-Residence, Walton School, Peterborough
Artist-in-Residence, Bishop-Grosse-Teste University, City of Lincoln.
Fellowship: Artescape
Dr Patrick Gogan, a psychiatrist at Lincoln Prison, established Artescape on a five-acre farm at Sturton-by-Stow, outside Lincoln. Artescape was a retreat where I spent eighteen months in relative seclusion, developing ideas for the Victory & Defeat project. There were outhouses with lots of space where I exhibited my work. Funding and supplies were limited to printmaking, drawing, and sculpture in the resourceful surroundings. Screenprinting and printing presses were available for use at Lincoln College of Art. I hosted quarterly Open Day events for the public, Lincoln Art College and Bishop-Gross-Teste University students and the annual Lincoln Arts Festival.
Residencies: The Walton School and Bishop G-T University residencies happened as a result of the success of the Artescape Fellowship. I was invited to stage a display of my Fellowship and Residency work at Lincoln College of Art, Bishop G-T University, and Walton School in Peterborough in 1985. I watched as my artwork was used as the theme for a set piece for a public dance production by staff and students from Walton School in Peterborough.
