I am delighted to be one of the 11 recipients of the Stephen Palmer Travel Bursary Fund 2023, a fund which provides support to freelancers working in the visual arts in Scotland to connect with peers across the UK.
The award will fund me to travel down to Glasgow at the end of the month for a concentrated burst of sound art events at SONICA SURGE. I’m hoping this immersion in innovative audiovisual art and experimentation will help me find strategies for melding my own sound art and visual art practices together with more coherence in the future…
