“This residency was meaningful for my practice primarily because of the discussion opportunities, and also the private time for exploration. The environment itself was very conducive to focused thinking and I have memorable experiences not just of the new work…”
“SIM is one of the best places to be creative and feel free. The way SIM operates and builds community is another level, which I really appreciate. I hope many artists can experience this.”
