16-20 September NNCA Project Space, Vulcan Works.

The Professional Development Residency Awards (PDRA) is a partnership between NNCA and the University of Northampton, organisations that are both passionately committed to making Northampton a culturally rich place in which to live, study, and visit. Our common objectives are: creative research in art and design, public and community engagement, local growth and regeneration, and skills development, enterprise and employment. 

Freya Ayling is a recent graduate of Illustration at Northampton University, an artist illustrator that captures nature and the natural sciences. Creating an invitation that allows an audience to engage with the strange yet beautiful aspects of nature, and the processes that occur. Utilising textures from traditional mediums alongside printmaking to recreate the various textures within our ecosystem. 

During the residency, Freya has produced a new series of Linocut Prints, which will be displayed alongside her previous work. An informal exhibition opening will be held on the 19 September, 6-8pm. All Welcome.
