Artist-in-Residence at MATDOT Art Center, Bangkok

For the month of February 2024 I was very privileged to be invited as artist-in-residence at MATDOT Art Center, Bangkok.

The purpose of the residency, which was also generously supported by British Council Thailand, was to research and develop a new work as one of the invited artists for the Bangkok Art Bienniale 2024 Nurture Gaia 24 October 2024 – 25 February 2025.

Below a selection of images of the unique MATDOT and from some of my riverine (along the Chao Phraya, Bangkok’s main river) and khlong (canal) research.
