I have watched many of Emily's pedal reviews and enjoy her observations
One of the things that jumped out in this recent video is her recollection of an artist residency.
There's a lot in there about elitism in the arts, as well as the rationale for her new album.
If you have been on an artist residency though, then you might recognise Emily's comment about how it made her feel like an artist.
I think this is one of the best aspects of a residency, where the residents identify as the role after doing there own thing elsewhere and not considering it art.
The best residencies have an open-ended quality that allows room for this development to occur.
