Testimonial
“The CORRIDOR project residency was something very special. Having access to soak up the environs of the countryside, the spaces, sounds, colours and wildlife. This allowed me to rest and think, sleep and play. I was able to let my imagination wander and experiment with different media and imagery, whilst responding to the things I saw whilst sitting or walking. TCP is a rich space for creativity and time to reflect, absorb, consider and listen. It is a safe place but also somewhere that you can be confronted by your ideas and possible uncertainties. I treasured the time I was able to spend at TCP through the residency and later for follow-up working and time out. It was important for my art practice which was at quite a turning point, and gave me the gentle push to see it move forward.”
