Three weeks in the new Post: artist in residence

I see my stay at the school as a first hand resource for the pupils and teachers. They can see how an artist works: where my ideas come from, what my areas of investigations are, which artists I am referring to in my work, which materials I use. All in all, how I go about my daily tasks to come up with a viable scheme for my end of year show. I hope I can inspire and give ideas to all, and I have started working on a few ideas.

I feel very welcome by the staff at the school and have already made myself at home in my working space: it's very quiet there but the building seems to make the strangest noises and seems like a living being.

I think I now understand the way the school works across both sites, but I have yet to visit a few buildings and I am very intrigued by the armory on the Castle site, I hope to get there next week but with an exhibition in Milton Keynes looming, time might be a little at a premium.

  1. Hi Jeannelise and welcome to Berkhamsted!

    I hope your year with us will be both enlightening and educational, as much for you as it will be for the students with whom you'll come into contact.

    I look forward to reading and seeing more of your work, both online and in person.

    A bientôt,

    Sacha
