This duet exhibition draws on the artists’ subconscious memories, dreams, and spirits to create multimedia works using a mix of artistic and utilitarian processes. Organic and otherworldly shapes and figures form sculptures, vessels and paintings, through which personal truths are excavated by way of extracting and embedding. The outcome is not predetermined, but rather discovered, through the artists’ hopes of revealing some element of the intangible, something extremely rare.
This feeling, of being able to glimpse or experience something rare and then share it, fleetingly, with others, is a deeply spiritual sense of gratitude for Earth itself — and for the opportunity to be among the creatures of our very rare Earth.
