He came to paint, but first he wanted to understand where he was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For two weeks, the process became almost ritualistic. Go out. Walk the beach. Follow the town\u2019s only road. Meet people. Notice something. Come back and paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The work grew from those small encounters with the place rather than from any fixed plan. New friends, unfamiliar routines, bits of landscape and whatever else managed to stick with him on the way back to the studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That rhythm became Unknown Roads, a short film about Zac\u2019s residency, his process and what happens when making work becomes less about arriving with an idea and more about letting a place change it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He came for two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He left a little more tangled up in Santa Teresa than when he arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably the point all along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6DM2vhpHp8Y\">Watch <em>Unknown Roads: A SOMOS Artist Residency with Zac Chambers<\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-container-2 wp-block-gallery-1 wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1365\" height=\"2048\" data-id=\"2439\"  src=\"https:\/\/houseofsomos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/HOS_Angelo-Picardo-152.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2439\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1365\" height=\"2048\" data-id=\"2442\"  src=\"https:\/\/houseofsomos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/HOS_Angelo-Picardo-156.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2442\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1365\" height=\"2048\" data-id=\"2440\"  src=\"https:\/\/houseofsomos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/HOS_Angelo-Picardo-154.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2440\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1365\" height=\"2048\" data-id=\"2443\"  src=\"https:\/\/houseofsomos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/HOS_Angelo-Picardo-155.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2443\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1638\" height=\"2048\" data-id=\"2441\"  src=\"https:\/\/houseofsomos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/HOS_Angelo-Picardo-151.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1365\" height=\"2048\" data-id=\"2444\"  src=\"https:\/\/houseofsomos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/HOS_Angelo-Picardo-153.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2444\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unknown Roads: Zac Chambers at House of Somos Some residencies start in the studio.
