Thank you to Bradford School of Art for selecting me for the AA2A artist residency. As a textile artist working with salvaged and found materials, this opportunity offers a valuable period of research and making, as well as the chance to develop and realise new work using specialist art school facilities.

The AA2A scheme is designed to benefit both practising artists and students through shared studio environments, dialogue, and exchange. I am particularly looking forward to the energy of working alongside students, and to the ways in which access to the college setting may support experimentation, new thinking, and the development of my practice.
