Becky was chosen from more than 150 applications for the residency, which is part of a series of the\u00a0SWA25<\/em><\/a>\u00a0events series marking 25 years since the practice was founded. To celebrate SWA are also hosting a series of curated events taking place across the year.<\/p>\n

Becky’s works \u2018critically explore the relationship between the individual and the social\u2019 and attempt\u00a0to capture the scale and complexity of social and material relationships.<\/p>\n

\"'How<\/a>

How Deep is Your Love?<\/em> by Becky Shaw<\/p><\/div>\n

Recent works by Shaw include\u00a0How Deep is Your Love?<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0a commission for the City of Calgary exploring Calgarian\u2019s emotional attachment to their water infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Shaw said: \u2018I am delighted to be given the opportunity to be artist-in-residence at SWA and am keen to explore how the practice and the people within it work to produce types of social, emotional, and physical warmth and comfort, whilst negotiating complex social, material and political terrains.\u2019<\/p>\n

Wigglesworth,\u00a0who received an MBE in 2004, commented: \u2018We were immediately impressed with Becky\u2019s poetic approach to what is traditionally considered as the purely practical.<\/p>\n

\u2018For example, we loved her recent work exploring the emotional attachment of the citizens of Calgary to their water infrastructure, which included a child-size version of an industrial leak location tool. We are excited to be hosting Becky in our office over the coming three months and fascinated to see the results.\u2019<\/p>\n
