Copperleg Artist Residency 2026
“Can a reproduction hold the same emotional quality as the original, or does it create something else entirely, something uncanny?”
using personal journals, voice notes, photos and videos of infatuation, obsession, heart break, crushes and longing

text frames
Layering physical tasks, text readings and memory tasks creates tension, flow, disruption, and creates new stories within texts.
Giving your personal texts to someone else to read aloud, transferring experiences between bodies and voices and creating new contexts.
