Kes Wilkie graduated from Falmouth School of Art in 2019, where he began making kinetic sculptures involving various objects such as parachutes, conveyor belts and household fans to build upon ideas and scenarios found in existing cinema and poetry. Since then, while moving between Cornwall, Amsterdam and Gloucestershire, his work has primarily existed as a collection of recurring imagery and drawings that seeks to resolve itself through automation and repetition.

This residency is part of a series which offer space and time to artists to make and show work in the gallery. Whilst the gallery is closed to the public, the residencies are viewable from the street and online. So keep an eye out on social media for updates or if you are passing the gallery.
