GlogauAIR resident from October 2017 to November 2017

During her two month residency at GlogauAIR Nessa plans to explore/ confront contemporary patriarchal expectations existing externally to herself as well as internally. She will produce a series of sculptures and wall hangings using text, traditional ‘women’s work’ craft making techniques and a healthy dose of humour.
