Ada’s work created during this residency involves material explorations of copper alongside ongoing investigations and reflections on the importance of personal space. During this exhibition she will present viewers with a mixture of completed artworks, works-in-progress, inspirations and documentation of her artistic process. Through this exhibition she aims to demonstrate how access to space, to a room of one’s own (even for a while), can facilitate the transformation of nascent creative ideas into concrete artworks and new artistic directions
