Read about Johanna‘s residency project in her own words…

“During my residency at La Moissie, I’ll be using the time to refine and finalize works for an upcoming solo show. I’m also looking forward to letting the peaceful surroundings do their thing — quieting my mind enough to follow new and unexpected ideas that I wouldn’t normally pursue. It’s a chance to work with both purpose and openness, and I’m excited to see where that balance takes me.”
