Kaiya Bartholomew (she/her) is a collage and performance artist based in Glasgow. Searching for tenderness and connection she peruses literature, theatrical traditions, modern art practices, poetry, dance and popular culture in all of its many-headed and fast-paced glory, to appropriate, borrow, collage and reimagine into works that speak openly of a human experience in an uncertain reality. She used the residency to develop movement and explore physical research around washing and laundry. https://kaiyabartholomew.squarespace.com/
