At the Garage Residencies 2020 & 2021

Artist Helen Acklam runs At the Garage in Bristol which she gifts to artists. This is an aspect of her own practice.

“For two separate months Esmé Clutterbuck, Henny Burnett and I brought work on site to investigate the areas of overlap between our individual practices.

Broadly speaking, the first month was spent learning to play together without jumping to judgement too early. The second month was a far more organic and unusual experience, with a couple of ‘makes’ emerging as foci for our production: Esmé’s ‘nets’; Henny’s ‘legs’ and my ‘house’. The works shown in ‘The house protects the dreamer’ were the result of these residencies.

Thank you, Helen. Thank you Esmé and Henny.”
