Week 1
My first week at Guldagergaard has flown by, and I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting. It’s been a bit of a rough start with some unexpected challenges, mainly dealing with customs to get my tools, which has taken up a lot of my time and energy.
People keep asking me why my tools are so important, and the short answer is that they’re like an extension of me. But really, it’s more than that. I’m trying to develop a new way of working that fits my current reality, and this residency is all about diving into that process—figuring out my limits and finding a way to create with as little pain and physical strain as possible. That’s why my tools are at the very center of this residency.
Guldagergaard is amazing, and I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to share this experience with. There’s something magical about watching others get lost in their work, and I’m learning something new every day from the incredible people around me.
My tools are supposed to arrive on Monday, and I can’t wait to jump back into my work. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be here, for the support of everyone around me, and for the chance to keep growing on this journey.
I find myself enjoying working at night, spending the day writing, studying, stretching, and exploring
A recurring theme in my photography is capturing the world immediately around me. These days, the long walks I once took to take photos are behind me. I find myself focusing on the everyday moments and surroundings that are part of my current reality.
This shift reflects not only a change in my approach but also a deeper connection to my environment—finding beauty and meaning in things that perhaps I wouldn’t before. I find that im looking closer
I recently got this photo back from the developer and It encapsulates a lot of different things im thinking about.
