“I think artists who go on residency make a conscious decision to do so because they are looking for a different way of working, a different path. The best bit about the The Hide residency was the offer of critiques because not only did I access a different opinion, it felt like someone really had my back. Having someone step in and switch you in a different direction or ask a question that you haven't thought of, is invaluable.” Rebecca, Artist

“The Studio is simple, well lit, and comfortable. It’s nice having a clean modern bathroom and a comfortable bed. The kitchen is very functional in a small, contained way. It was interesting to just sit in ‘the art’ as I slept in the same room as the canvas hanging on the wall, and drawings on the table….spent more time contemplating them than normal and that was a good thing. I was grateful to spend some time with Alice and talk about my work and about moving it forward. Alice is smart, insightful and lovely person to open up to.” Jow, Artist.
