I have been selected to participate in the University of the Arts PhD studio residency at the British School of Rome (The BSR). The Mead Rome PhD Studio Residency joins the existing programme of Mead Scholarships and Fellowships which support UAL students in the pursuit of excellence through their creative practice and research. The residency provides an opportunity to further develop my Ph.D. investigation of a ‘phenomenological identity', a proposed liminal place between context and body, in a working studio, invigorated by the rich diversity that Rome offers and the support of the community at the BSR.
