Vermont Studio Center, VT, 2017

In September of 2017, Sayed participated in a 4 week residency in Johnson, Vermont at the Vermont Studio Center. The work he made during this time was a departure from his usual subject matter, exploring interiority and the narrative potential of the figure occupying less space in his compositions.
