I’m heading to the Arctic Circle for an Art and Science Residency!

I am excited to announce that I will be heading to The Arctic Circle in August to participate in The Arctic Circle Expedition: Art and Science Residency!

This is an incredible opportunity and an honour to be invited to apply and then be selected.
The Arctic Circle expeditionary residency program, established in 2009, is an annual expedition that invites international artists, scientists, educators, and innovators to live and work aboard an Arctic-class expedition ship and collectively explore the Arctic Archipelago of Svalbard, just 10 degrees latitude from the North Pole.

Yep, the North Pole! I will be literally on top of the world, creating art with a select group of remarkable artists and scientists!

This year is a special expedition that will, for the first time, circumnavigate Svalbard and navigate to the polar ice pack region on a 91-meter icebreaker with onboard studio and lab spaces to pursue creative projects on board and ashore.

This residency will undoubtedly be a career highlight. It’s an extraordinary opportunity to immerse myself in a truly unique and remote environment. I’ll have the chance to explore, research, collaborate with diverse international artists and scientists, experiment, develop, and create new work that further expands my practice, captures the isolated beauty of the Arctic, and raises awareness of its ecological significance. I can’t wait to share updates and outcomes from this experience!
