6th Feb - 7th March, University of Leicester, British Science Week
The University of Leicester has invited artists to take part in its British Science Week Brief Encounters initiative, during which the University is hosting 8 Mini Science/Art Residencies. Artists have been invited to spend time with University of Leicester scientists in their environment and to share each other’s practices.
The residencies will culminate in an exhibition of works created by the artists in residence, held during British Science Week and until the end of March (March 10-31st, 2018) in the Newarke House Museum, Leicester. 
I will be working with Dr Kim Page: Kim works on the NASA Swift satellite, observing transient and explosive events throughout the Universe.

10th July - 22nd July 2017, Melin Glonc, Drefelin, Carmarthenshire, Wales.
On Tuesday 18th July we observed World Listening Day and local sound artist Jake Whittaker spent the day at Rhod working with us to make recordings. I led a silent walk from the Mill to the Village, and the walk was recorded by Jake - click on the soundcloud clip here ​https://soundcloud.com/jacobwhittaker/wld2017-rhod-silent-walk

Vegetable Agenda (an artist collective - Julian Mckenny and Debbie Rees, who run a permaculture Market Garden in the small village of Blaenffos in West Wales) invited me to carry out an artist residency after having taken part in the 'Basic Human Needs' exhibition earlier in 2016. I conducted a self-directed two-week residency in September 2016. During the residency I started developing a new piece of work 'Garden Walks'.

A self directed residency undertaken during the autumn of 2015 for a duration of 2 months in the rural village of Corris in North Wales UK.
The residency resulted in a new series of work - 'Sleep Walks' and a an artist talk at the Aberystwyth Arts Centre. An exhibition and opening event talk was held at Stiwidio Maelor at the end of the residency period.

In January-March 2015 I undertook a self-directed residency walking the Pennine Way to make a artwork 'Spine Walk' to be exhibited at the South Square Gallery 'Highline' show.
