„I enjoyed my time in the artist residence in Zagreb. I was very pleased with the studio space and the city has a nice energy. These factors provided a good environment for me to live and work for a few weeks. The focus of my works was ecology and sustainability and I used general environmental topics in my pieces. Although not directly about specific global issues, I use a lot of fantasy and fiction in my work in order to portray a certain idea that illuminates a real-world problem, such as extinction of a species. I sourced materials locally, I used recycled textiles and I also bought textile materials from the store in Zagreb. My time passed very quickly which always means I had a good time. I visited many places, the museums in Zagreb and also met with local young creative people and exchanged ideas and talked about art. I explored the city on my own and found many interesting things. I really enjoyed having the artist lecture at the Academy of Arts which was very well-received by the students, some of which have contacted me since the talk because they enjoyed it. I feel inspired and clear-headed after my time in the Zagreb residency.“
