Hailing from Vancouver, Caroline will be joining Eden Studios as a resident artist in April, 2025. During her stay, she will be exploring weaving techniques to create 3 dimensional forms, both functional and sculptural - potentially furniture. Through this experimentation she would like to create a piece that could be useful and contribute to the residency site in some way (like a useful piece of furniture or object). Other options for contribution may include, making a very big, very nice cake and inviting community members over to eat it together.
