studio displacement syndrome

What happens after a residency? A residency is so intense that returning home afterwards can feel so strange. I often suffer from what I refer to as studio displacement syndrome. This time it was extremely brief as I was so excited by what I had seen and so driven to create more work that I couldn't stop. Plus I was lucky enough to have the use of a huge space as a temporary studio. Works that dwalf my normal working space looked comforatbly at ease in this context.
