Emphasizing the nature of their relationship to one another as well as to the environment and world around them, practices like writing, photographing, and drawing find their way into their sculptural work and artist books. Their sculptures consist of salvaged materials: things they find on a daily basis or in their travels; unfinished works and scraps from their studios. Themes of home/shelter, relationships, memory, and social and political concerns emerge in their work. Tracing one another’s bodies on yesterday’s newspapers or on pieces of wood is one example of the way they combine personal, intimate movements within the context of a bigger and more uncontrollable world and media landscape.
The show opens Saturday, September 29th, 6-8pm, and at 7pm, the two will give a reading.
"i can’t explain a smell, i can’t tell you about the scent here. drowned in lake of outrage. talked to you, explained it all away. could’ve listened closer to the pacific rim; beyond it, i wasn’t looking--just whistling a memory"
