This film records VARC artist in residence Jilly Morris over her year long residency in 2009 – 2010.
Filmed throughout the year and including the artist’s own video diaries, this film conveys the experience of a city girl artist living and working in isolation, getting to grips with nature and discovering the art of walking in all weathers. Throughout all this, Jilly must create a body of artwork for her first ever-solo show.
