Dankeschӧn!

Dankeschӧn!
I had a wonderful six months with this Residency. It is such a beautiful concept and in its nature just generous, non-judgemental and never ending.

Hence I am very pleased to hand the baton to Marion Piper as the next and eighth Reside Resident for the coming six months.

I am wishing her a brilliant residency, hoping she can use its conditions in whatever way she truly wants to. Looking at Marion’s work, website and blogs I think the Reside Residency might just be the right place and time for her.

A very big Dankeschӧn and my best wishes to Bridget M Jackson who was in my shoes six months ago. Dankeschӧn also to all previous Reside Residency artists including Karl England who via The Emely started it in 2011.

Six months are nearly over and I really lived the Reside residency rather than writing about it. Its conditions supported me in my then still new local church tower studio and allotment.
But this residency also assisted me in making virtual connections, like twitter and most recently on facebook.

The Reside blog was a wonderful new space in which to position images of my realities. Unfortunately I am quite slow and it was too short a time for me to engage meaningfully with peoples responses.

I've really enjoyed being part of this platform, figuring and trying things out and articulating my ideas.

I feel when the body is bound by time and place the soul can be free too.

I announce the next Reside Residency artist this Thursday here and on twitter when I publish my final post!

Soon this residency will come to an end.
Six months have gone quickly. I haven't even mentioned Obscure Secure at Reside.

Obscure Secure has been brewing slowly and deeply. For the past 18 month I have been meeting with Hayley Field and Jacqueline Utley, two painters. Through a process of exploration and research, we have selected work from from the Ipswich Borough Council collection and created new work in response.

One of our aims is to uncover work from the collection of twentieth century women’s art from the Ipswich Borough Council and exhibit it together with our paintings. This will happen from 6 September 2014 until 18 January 2015. In tandem with the show there will also be a series of talks at Wolsey Art Gallery.

Christchurch Mansion, Soane Street
Ipswich, IP4 2BE

Obscure Secure title is taken from The Hawstead Panels, probably painted by Lady Drury, c.1610

This morning: Images from our allotment and snapshots from the studio.

The plot has transformed since my posting of photos in February.
I could not think of a better metaphor for what has been happening since I started the reside residency.
The journey within 'my room' has been absolutely amazing.
Although I have not shared much of this here, I can honestly say that the very virtual presence of the reside residency alone has shaped and supported all of my moves between people, painting, twitterland, home, teaching, Ipswich, Manchester and London.

The existence of reside space enables me to connect to things and people within 'my room' in a certain kind of way.
It beautifully assists an internal process, negotiates a space and position in 'my room' which seems to have let things grow naturally.

A few weeks ago I carefully looked at the reside blogs by Karl, Corinna, Susan, Anthony, Michaela and Bridget. I can't believe mine is soon coming to an end. Not quite yet, there are one or two things I am hoping to include in 'my room' before I leave!

I took the following studio snapshots today on my return from the allotment. A sunny and warm day here in Ipswich!

This large drawing/collage I unrolled and put up this week in my studio to see what I made 13 years ago whilst liveing on the island of Ruegen in Germany.
Pondering over how it relates to my current work.

If you'd like it to be the next reside residency artist please apply until Sunday 27 July, 5 pm UK time.
Please take a look at the application information and send your submission via the contact form on this site.

CLAUDIA BÖSE, a painter based in Ipswich, Suffolk.

I construct my paintings through process, led by daily life, history and nature. I hope my ongoing engagement with light, colour and forms creates a new perception.

I am inspired and guided by the painterly process and its relation to abstraction; the way I handle paint invites an audience to consider my work without prejudice.
Decisions about when and how I use paint are also strongly guided by my empathy for work which has been created by other women painters.

I am drawn to regions which could be described as, geographical and psychological borderlands, especially those which have been interpreted throughout history by artists and writers.

Recently I began working in a new studio based high in the church tower of a modernist church in Ipswich; this is also adjacent to our allotment.
The very unusual perspective in tandem with attending to plants has already provided a different grounding and enrichment for my work.

Dankeschӧn!
