In Residence
Josie Clouting
9th September - 15th December 2024
In the studio from 9th September to 15th December 2024, Josie will develop her practice whilst exploring the different ways people and artists connect to sustainability and landscape.
Inspired by wild and ancient places, Josie’s goal is to deepen her understanding of sustainability and explore how she can help protect the very environments that influence her practice. Through this exploration and the creation of a new body of work inspired by other people’s favourite ‘wild places’, Josie aims to create a sacred space in the heart of the city - one that evokes the feeling of stepping into a serene landscape.
To further investigate this theme and connect with the local Bankside community, Josie plans to invite hotel guests, staff and visitors to share images of their favourite wild places. Josie will paint the images onto small postcards and hang them in a dedicated area of the studio, creating a collaborative collage. Alongside this project, Josie will experiment with working on larger scale paintings and drawings.
