to call myself an artist

Bally Sembi reflects on her Hatching Residency

This is the first time I have ever taken on an artist residency and I didn’t know what to expect. I was excited and nervous all the same.

Changing landscapes

Tom Godwin reflects on his Hatching Nest Residency

My hatching residency revolved around an old photograph I found amongst some of my grandad’s possessions of Coventry City centre taken around the ’60s. I was immediately fascinated with the differences to the present day and the idea of changing landscapes and our role in shaping these changes as well as my own personal connection to the landscapes around me. My initial plan was to go into this residency with just this picture and an open mind to take this project in any direction it took me.
