Fortress is a rural, contemplative, and intimate exhibition space located in Upstate New York. Fortress provides a small, communal structure for sharing and activating the artwork and ideas of both local and national artists alike. Fortress was constructed in the Fall of 2021 with reclaimed materials from a nearby farm as well as recycled glass and timbers.
The Center for Periphery Residency, lead by Sonia E. Barrett, is held in Bavaria, Germany. An intensive one week-long studio session is utilized to create a small collection of works. These works are experimental in nature, using materials found in and around the rural farmstead property.
In total, 12 original artworks were created during the Rafter Residency. Countless hours each week during the months of May, June, and July were dedicated entirely to being in the studio and producing a cohesive body of work. These works show a key moment of experimentation and increasing of scale within my practice. All 12 works were permanently installed in Rafter’s building in the Northeast Minneapolis Neighborhood, where I spent August 2019 - June 2020 as a resident artist.
