In August of 2023, Kuf Knotz & Christine Elise had the honor of participating in the Creative Residency Program at Bloedel Reserve. Time in this space invited the creatives to slow down and focus on the micro movements of nature, studying and documenting the water ripples to dragonfly wings fluttering creating a multimedia video including a composed piece. Kuf and Christine also shot their video “Rotation” on the grounds integrating the beautiful landscapes supporting lyrics talking about various inspirations in life.Their final piece was  a documentary of the creative process to give insight as to how the two videos unfolded across the three weeks. The residency allowed for recharge, inspiration, and growth and will be cherished forever.
