PROJECT/PROGRAMTell us about your project or program INFORMATION Title of Grant Artist Residency at Hambidge Request Grant Amount $2200 ($500 residency fee covered by Maria Britton) Requested Project Start Date October 7, 2019 (no earlier than July 1, 2019) Project End Date (no October 21, 2019 later than June 30, 2020) DocuSign Envelope ID: EE92BA24-A67F-4F4A-8067-F8FOEF642894 Project/Program This application is a request for financial support to participate in a Summary two week artist residency this October at Hambidge Center in Georgia and purchase materials to create art during the residency. With support from OCAC, I will be able to take time off from my jobs to produce and document new work which I will use in future applications for funding, residency, and exhibition opportunities. My work explores notions of femininity and feminism, high and low forms of art making, and dreams and disasters. I am submitting five images of my Draperies. These works are made from used patterned bed sheets which I sew myself. Each Drapery is similar to a finished garment in that it is one fluid piece that hangs on a wooden wall mount, which functions like a hanger or drapery rod. I use acrylics to paint and stain the Draperies. The Draperies are influenced by clothing and curtain construction, bodily orifices, and portals. During my residency I will create new Draperies similar to the work included in this application. The included budget covers materials including paints (Golden fluid acrylics), brushes, wood, hardware, and other supplies. Community Impact There is no public component for this proposal. Artist Experience My participation in past artist residencies led me to new directions in the art that I make and my career as an artist. At artist residencies I have made long lasting connections with artists who continue to be collaborators, mentors, and friends--broadening my own network of artistic peers. I have participated in artist residencies at the Byrdcliffe Arts Colony in Woodstock, NY(2009); the Petrified Forest National Park Artist Residency in Arizona (2009); and the Vermont Studio Center (2010). Participating in artist residencies has pushed me to consider my art within a greater context of contemporary art that is not solely defined by where I live and work in Carrboro. Participating in artist residencies has also inspired me to start an experimental gallery, curate art shows, write about artists, and develop ideas that will benefit artists based in Orange County and the Southeast. I am co-director of an experimental gallery rooted in Chapel Hill called LOG (www.log into log.com). I write about artists based in Orange County, the Southeast, and beyond for an art blog called The Coastal Post (www.thecoastalpost.com). With support from the OCAC, I will be able to focus on the development of new art during my two week residency at Hambidge.
