I was awarded a residency at the Leitrim Sculpture Centre which provided me with a workspace, a small income and a solo show in the “gallery” although it had not yet been refurbished. It was very good to have an income however small and to be able to concentrate solely on the work

To prepare the space I had to build a lot of the walls, and then paint the whole space _ and it was a labour of love to get ready and then hang the work _ there was quite a lot of it!!

I measured each wall and superimposed a 64 x 64 grid on it which I used to place the works using random numbers in pairs to provide grid references.
