Nya Patrions, 21st December 2024 – 4th January, 2025
Nya Patrinos is an artist, set designer and surface designer from Los Angeles.
I think the residency went very well. I was able to explore a lot with linoleum block printing and sketching. I was also inspired by the parish church at St. Just and the landscape. I love what I explored and want to take it further.
I don’t know what my exact outcomes will be with the material. I used some of the work in my portfolio to apply to graduate school for a second masters in textile design and I was accepted at the 3 schools I applied to: RISD, Thomas Jefferson, and UC Davis. I also used some of the materials I made at the residency as part of a scholarship application to take a workshop in handmade wallpaper at Penland in North Carolina and I received a full scholarship. I’m still working on the ideas and the material. I have a residency in June at Key West where I will continue working on the ideas I was focusing on in Cape Cornwall. I hope one day to license the designs.
