The Woodland Project is an artist led project and residency, situated in a unique woodland in a small village in Cyprus. The idea to create the Woodland Project originated from the sculptor Sophia Demetriou who has worked and installed work in outdoor environments through commissions in different countries in Europe. The need for the Woodland Project arose from the lack of affordable outdoor spaces, and the inability to produce and create projects outside of the topics proposed by those commissioning work. As a large amount of outdoor practices are monumental we aim to generate anti-monumental practices and to explore how these practices can reposition outdoor artworks and develop the relationship between woodland and human beings. The Woodland Project encourages people to go out and create, feeling free without the constraints of an indoor studio, whilst enabling exploration of how practice alters according to indoor and outdoor environments. Nature expands ourselves and the way we perceive things. This Project encourages reflection on the relationship between nature and practice and on how art and its environment may form one integrated unit.
The Woodland Project is open to all, professional artists and amateurs. The focus of this Residency is to inspire the use of the site as your studio, so that a natural woodland environment is introduced into the relationship between artists’ work and the creative process.

This residency offers artists and people who like art and nature a unique opportunity to discover and test the sculptural materiality of woodland and to develop outdoor practices in a natural and open space and to build an outdoor portfolio. It offers the tranquility of being focused on your practice, a unique distinctive outdoor environment within which to develop your work.
