DYCP Arts Council England Retrospective
In 2021 Molly was awarded the DYCP Arts Council fund. This allowed Molly to expand her collaborative practice through the engagement of projects with different artists, which presented opportunities to grow and sustain her artistry whilst developing new work. Through the exploration of hyper-visual, highly interactive and public art interventions Molly was able to create new art in order to inspire future pieces of work.
Below is a look back at the exciting colourful journey, the Arts Council Funding allowed me to take.
Artist Residency with ‘Officina’ Neukölln, Berlin
Molly undertook a 2 month artist residency resulting in her final artist show which represented her research, experimentation and close collaboration with the diverse team. She was able to build invaluable relationships with artists worldwide which offered an insight into different practices, cultures and ways to practice collaboratively through the interaction with diverse communities.
Photographs capturing my 2-month artist residency in Berlin with Officina. Images include process making, artist talk, exhibition poster and final installation.
Spike Island Courses in Riso Graph Printing & Textile Transfer Techniques. An energising 4 days spent onsite at Spike Island, experimenting and generally getting over excited with new skills.
Made My Wardrobe - Tapestry Workshop
Molly participated in a tapestry workshop by Made My Wardrobe which allowed her the space and time to further develop her skills working with materials and to be inspired by the outcomes of her work. Through the layering of different materials and the composition of each of the elements of her designs Molly created some bold and interesting tapestries.
A brilliant opportunity to partake in a tapestry / banner sewing workshop at Made My Wardrobe Studio, Bristol. This workshop gave me time to develop my sewing skills, learn new techniques and create a final tapestry piece across 2 days.
Research & Development with Synnøve Fredericks
An exploration through play, flow and movement sparked by the 100 year anniversary of The Triadic Ballet. Discovery through costume, model, and mask making, constructing new narratives and deconstructing creative process.
A collaborative process with sculpture & furniture maker Synnøve Fredericks, evoked conceptual performance, finding narrative and exploring play as a method of creation. The results were theatrical, comical and inspired thoughts for further collaboration.
