Micro Residencies 2011

Naheed Raza, our first Micro Resident  presents her work on Friday 15th July 6-8pm at Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop.

For her micro-residency at Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop Naheed has begun working on a new research project ‘Bread, Bonsai and Bronze’.

The purpose of this project is to foreground the notion of modulation, malleability and plasticity and hint at the way in which sculptural ‘gestures’ might permeate culture, mediating many aspects of our physical experience. By considering first bread making and then bonsai cultivation - activities involving highly physical, rapid and automatic gestures in the first instance and complex and painstaking ones in the other, she will explore what the manipulative act constitutes in diverse contexts.
