We’re extremely excited to have Jacqui at RuptureXIBIT for their residency this February. Their proposal drawing on the experimental nature of Rupture, with the enquiry of exploring connection and interaction with a space when physically absent from it.

"As a mother and sole parent to a school aged child and living in North Yorkshire, my access to artist residencies is very limited. The balance between my caring responsibilities and my art practice is a daily challenge. My immediate reaction to this residency open call is that I would love to, but I can't. The usual obstacles of distance, time, and childcare are a huge barrier to such opportunities. But then I stopped myself. What if I explore this and it becomes the work itself? My proposal, therefore, is an exploration of the relationship between motherhood, nature, and creative practice…”

💥 The residency runs from Tuesday 6th February 2024 - Monday 26th February 2024.
