Since November 2025 I have been one of the temporary residents at 59 Rivoli, an open space where artists meet and engage with the public, exhibit their works, and simultaneously create new work. This ongoing experience has taught me a lot and has enabled me to connect to other artists and to be open and connected to the people who ultimately view my art and engage with it. My residency has allowed me to form collaborations, work together on projects and shape and define my own work in dialogue with other artists that I met through the residency.
