Exhibition Information

This work represents a new chapter in our ongoing exploration of the relationship between text and image. We like to think of our work as installation narratives, with ourselves, the artists, as main characters. As our setting changes, so does our focus. Resonance has been created in response and in relation to the surrounding simplicity of the foothills and prairies. This simplicity has inspired us to playfully represent the essence of words as sound, and image as space by creating a 3-dimensional diorama utilizing drawing, stamping, and sculptural methods.

Installation Log #1: Paper H
Day Two of installation and we're well on schedule. We're discovering how being visible as artists is an important part of our practice. We enjoy being able to talk to people about what we are doing. It's pretty impressive the wide range of individuals who frequent the +15 walkways in Calgary. So far we have completed our landscape diorama and Brad is working away at completing a collection of paper h's. Tomorrow I'll be focused on creating a variety of 3-D paper drawings that will be suspended from the ceiling of the gallery. Pictures to follow soon.

the residency - August 1-30, 2009

For the month of August, we have been busy at work in Oxygen Art Centre in Nelson, BC, Canada. It is the beginning of our work together, and we were fortunate enough to be granted a full month residency to begin developing our ideas. The pictures posted here are a look at our process as the month has unfolded.
