Artistic Research Residencies In Sequent Toil, 2024, handmade book by Suzanne Coley Some residencies are life changing and put you on a path you never imagined for yourself. They inspire creativity and offer opportunities to meet and work with scholars you have only read about in textbooks. These scholars love what they do and their approach is joyfully rigorous! They enjoy talking about challenging literary works and explore complex themes and characters. They patiently listen and review your art based on these readings and offer you insightful feedback. They introduce you to more books and scholarship. Your mind spins and your hands get to working, producing art and books you never imagined possible. I am forever thankful for my wonderful residency at Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies and my continued work with their scholars.
No two pages are alike. No two stories are the same. Unique books created with skill and passion.
