Digital Residency
Elephant Lab is an artists opportunity to foster creativity and feed curiosity. We encourage experimentation and collaboration, bringing artists together with art professionals to investigate the correlation between life and art.
The residency will offer particularly talented emerging artists a bespoke package to support their practice throughout the month. Open to UK-based artists practicing in all mediums, we are looking for dynamic, committed, emerging artists with the potential to become international stars. Elephant’s motto is ‘Life through Art’ and as such we are looking for artistic practice that engages with the wider issues of the world at large, whether that be through painting, sculpture, installation, film or digital media.
This digital residency will offer a unique platform to take your career to the next level, bringing your work to a new audience across all the Elephant channels.
SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED
The artist selected will receive
- Digital Showcase along all platforms
- £ 500 RRP value of art materials from fine art brands (Winsor & Newton, Liquitex and Conté à Paris)
- Professional support and mentoring programme from the Elephant team

"I will be creating two new paintings for my current series. I will be working exclusively with oil paints and acrylic paints for each panting, using each of their mediums to manipulate the textures and finishes. Receiving this opportunity will be a great way to challenge my practice as a painter, I have the chance to use these great brands to improve the quality of my work and create some interesting outcomes."

My painting process works with intuition, colour, rhythm and movement setting up a space for my memories of the tropical to appear. From this, feelings of nostalgia and longing become present. As this space unfolds I go in search of specific sensations and affects such as the sentimental, celebration, joy and euphoria. This process generates questions that relate back to nature. From this position a transformation occurs that creates fictional spaces, which employs a celebratory method of painting. As such I am searching for repetitive motifs that can consistently reproduce this celebratory method. As a result further sensations of vibrancy and the feminine begin to unravel and produce meaning.

On the hunt for social situations that cross between the surreal and “ordinary”. I link image, sound and video clips that I have captured from around the world. Piecing together a fictional reality, whilst connecting the disparate elements.
My focus is drawn to the meeting points at random, the idea of simultaneous possibilities co- existing allows me to explore and connect “different worlds at the same time”. The reconstruction element within my work often gives reference to the complex layers of history, of movement of people and goods, and cultural displacement. I have taken much of my inspiration for the development of my work from the Rhizome concept developed by Deleuze and Guattari. "A Rhizome has no beginning or end" I develop my research into identity through a non-starting point, pushing the Connections and multiplicities that evolve within the work.

My concern is the contested territory between the natural world, rational science and what is human. This relationship informs how we understand ourselves as actors within our environment.
My work combines layers of drawing, painting and collage. A mathematically composed base image provides the conditions for pareidolia to occur. Over-drawing encourages human error, individual interpretation and idiosyncrasy.
Visceral glimpses of spaces, objects and creatures. Motifs and snapshots are superimposed onto one another. Worlds emerge at both macro and micro scales. The pictures delight in the atmospheric qualities of space. Akin to being lost in the deep forest, time and space are ambiguous. Mystery and disorientation is encouraged. Parts meld into each other, location and dimension are unclear.
