theCOLAB BODY and PLACE 2026: a residency in pictures
Written By Curtis Holder
I recently spent five days at Owlpen Manor in Gloucestershire as one of ten artists participating in theCOLAB's BODY and PLACE 2026 residency.
Working alongside fellow residents, the programme encouraged us to move beyond the traditional life room and explore the relationship between figure, landscape and drawing.
These photographs capture moments of process and observation: sketchbooks, drawing sessions and the landscape that shaped the experience.
