I had embarked on the residency with no public outcomes planned, so it was a welcome surprise that curator of Keats-Shelley House, Giuseppe Albano proposed that I show work in an exhibition I called Cloudy Trophies (from a line in Keats' Ode to Melancholy) running from September to December 2021. It felt like an aptly circular trajectory, of 'research outcomes' returning to their source, enhanced when the House's trustees accepted one of the paintings, Young Man Dreaming IV into the House's permanent collection. In a happy coincidence of timing, the British Embassy proposed another of the paintings, Selene, as a diplomatic gift from the British government to Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi following the G20 Summit in Rome.
