Dana was selected from over 200 artists who submitted to neo:graduates2013.

The 12 week residency will take place this summer and during the residency Dana will have access to the facilities in neo:studios and also at the University of Bolton, plus a total of £1000 for materials, sponsored in part by GreatArt.

Throughout her time in Bolton Dana will be mentored by Sophia Crilly, Director/Curator of Bureau, Manchester and will be working with the Fine Art MA students at the University of Bolton. The residency culminates in a solo show to be held in neo:gallery22, the Market Place, Bolton.

Dana grew up as a non-Jewish-Israeli-of-German-descent though her work does not deal directly with her personal biography. She uses photography, printmaking, video and drawing firstly as ways of mark making and as techniques of capturing traces.
