During their Artists Make Space residency at Orleans House Gallery, Eden has valued having a place to decompress and gather her thoughts while surrounded by nature and other contemporary art. Eden has had use of an inside space, but has enjoyed the frequent moments of walking through the grounds and reflecting on the many acts throughout time that has allowed her to be here in the present day. While identity and finding means to comprehend the past are major explorations, Eden is also fascinated by notions of contentment and belonging in space-time with regards to individuals, families, and communities.
