Victoria and Albert Museum Artist in Residence
As 2018-19 V&A Artist in Residence I was interested to look at the relationship between repair and the museum, through repaired objects in the collections, representations of repair in imagery, and conservation practices.
I worked with conservators and curators to learn about this, developing artefacts, events, a showcase of my work and a publication from the residency.
