Between July 25 and August 21 I was the artist in residence at the Hull Art Lab in Hull. HAL gave me the opportunity to do whatever I wanted in a huge warehouse for a month and let me present the work in any way, or timescale. This freedom, soon after my degree show was amazingly refreshing, and the open structure of my residency stood in complete contrast to my recent crazy degree show experiece (a productive - but stressful one).

This atmosphere allowed me to work on something that had occured to me before my degree show, a project involving mineral water and mountains. It was something that needed a quieter atmosphere than the Royal College and a good amount of time mucking about on my own. I spent the month playing with tin foil, buying a huge variety of high pressure water irrigation systems and soaking the hell out of the warehouse (that was another cool thing about this place - they weren’t prescious) and routing lots of plaster board. The end results are here.
