Fellowship: Artescape

Dr Patrick Gogan, a psychiatrist at Lincoln Prison, established Artescape on a five-acre farm at Sturton-by-Stow, outside Lincoln. Artescape was a retreat where eighteen months were spent in relative seclusion, continuing drawings, prints and sculpture for the Victory & Defeat project. There were outhouses with lots of space where I exhibited my work. Funding and supplies were limited to printmaking, drawing, and sculpture in the resourceful surroundings. Screenprinting and printing presses were available for use at Lincoln College of Art. Quarterly Open Day events were hosted for the public at the farm and Lincoln Art College and Bishop-Gross-Teste University students. The artwork created that year for the fellowship was featured in the annual Lincoln Arts Festival.

Residencies: The Walton School and Bishop G-T University residencies happened as a result of the success of the Artescape Fellowship. I was invited to stage a display of my Fellowship and Residency work at Lincoln College of Art, Bishop G-T University, and Walton School in Peterborough in 1985. I watched as my artwork was used as the theme for a set piece for a public dance production by staff and students from Walton School in Peterborough.
