Joya: AiR residency to me:

- Majestic moment of the sunset view on the left and full moonrise view on the right of the residency site. 
- Silent time to restudy my notes and old thoughts and reorganise them

- Learning the colours, water, the plants from the rugged beauty of the inland chalkland landscape

- Appreciation of other artists' presentations and works on-site, including Simon and Donna's Oasis project, make impossible possible and contribute to nature and agriculture in the area

- Two new paintings and installations are inspired by the residency : 

Installation view: Vélez-Blanco - Simon and Donna’s back garden, Oil on canvas, 20.5 x 25.5 cm, 2020

Corn Shuk Me Ho is a painter. She sets out to explore the deepest levels of the human subconscious. The atmospheric, melancholic tones of her paintings evoke sensations of dislocation. These works document her interest in what is lost and what is found, the ambivalence between what is the fleeting memory and what is synthesized as a trace within the landscape.

Her paintings from Night Swims series had been awarded the D Contemporary Painting Prize in December 2019. She will have a Night Swims solo exhibition in D contemporary from 7th - 14th September 2020 in Mayfair, London.
