Country: Canada (ON)
Residency period: September 17  - October 18, 2021

"At Atelier Circulaire I will begin a series of primarily figurative-based prints evoking themes around the deviantly melancholic and the seductively monstrous. Inspired by the supernatural horror genre, Gay-themed Japanese graphic novels, Chinese visions of Hell and more — this direction looks to explore complexities surrounding desire and alien affects within Queer and racialised subjectivities. I hope to use monotype, screenprinting and risograph for their energetic and erotic qualities in print media."

"As part of my residency at Atelier Circulaire, I wish to establish a dialogue between screen-printing and light projection, in order to reflect on the thresholds of visibility from a feminist perspective. My research is interested in the dissolution of memories, in memory as fluid documentation. "

"For my residency at Atelier Circulaire, I plan to explore printing on clay. I am sourcing the images for printing from my grandparents' house, as it is based on all of my childhood memories. With the clay being thin and delicate, I intend to present our memories' fragility and show how their objectiveness can easily shatter. I would like to use screen printing and intaglio to print on clay, and explore different methods of printing and various clays. I want to understand which method and material are effective in terms of development and give the most impact in creating this body of work."

"While in residence at Atelier Circulaire, I will make photo-engravings with digital stills extracted from stop-motion animation. I am interested in this project as a means of slowing down time and bringing the physical handmade object back into closer relationship with digital video - taking an ephemeral/memory image and giving it back its body. By isolating and printing individual frames I will be pulling the animation undone and teasing out its constituent parts to allow the viewer’s eyes to rest on individual images again. "

"I am a nonbinary artist and collaborative printer, whose work depicts the intimacy of queer relationships. During my residency I will create a series of large-scale figurative silk aquatints. While at AC I will share my ongoing research into this non-toxic collagraph process that produces fully tonal, painterly prints."

"My residency project deals with the nature/architecture relationship. Taking the traditional Japanese habitat as a starting point, lines, grids and geometric shapes will be declined to create minimalist and poetic compositions. This research will lead to the creation of screen-printed 2D or 3D paper works."

"At Atelier Circulaire, I plan to develop a series of prints that appropriates and unravels architectural language. In mimicking the precision and certainty of languages of planning, and borrowing from imagery used to communicate intent, I would use printmaking as a playful, anachronistic approach to think around creating and altering space."
