A Residency in Naples
In September I took myself to Naples for a two week residency called l’Appartamento. I shared a beautiful high ceilinged apartment with the host and another artist.
Naples is an intense and magical place. Each day was an adventure with so much to see. It was overwhelming at times but I’m so grateful for this experience and the lovely people I met there.
We ate delicious food, explored the chaotic streets, travelled down the coast and over to the beautiful Island of Ischia. It was as if there were a pulse in the city that never stopped. I felt like I needed to be out and about all the time, even when I was really tired.
The presence of the volcano, Vesuvius added another dimension; a fiery energy that is passionate and unapologetic.
