For the 2010 Spring semester,  Elizabeth Presa will be a Research Associate in the 5 Colleges Women’s Research Centre, Mount Holyoke University, Massachusetts.

Project Title: Mysticism and sculpture:  Forming the Interior Castle of St Teresa of Avila.

The Research Project  examines the writing of the Spanish mystic, Teresa of Avila (1515-1582), in particular her last work Interior Castle (1577), which contains a series of detailed and poetic accounts of imagined architectural spaces.  This research will be conducted through my sculpture and installation practice.
