COLLABORATIVE WORK

Triptych: Locating, Collecting, Firing - Mixed Media on Wood Panel - 36” x 36”- 2022

We are in the process of co-developing a two-person exhibition of artwork informed by the following factors:

  • Interviews with residents of Long Island, ME (USA) and the Kujataa region of South Greenland

  • Treks in Southern Maine and South Greenland

  • Collage workshops conducted with coastal communities in the towns of Long Island and Qaqortoq

The work addresses personal, social and environmental themes such as: changing ecologies; emotive landscapes; the logistics of memory; the drive toward self-determination and the dynamics of geo-political relationships.

The triptych Locating Collecting Firing represents the beginning of a joint effort to create meaning by juxtaposing and layering disparate imagery and techniques. Meaning making is individual and informed by social, cultural and familial influence. To preserve individual perspectives, we each created a panel on our own. Then, we worked together on the middle panel to move toward aesthetic convergence.

This piece languages complex relationships to past, present and future phenomenon. We are also developing individual work related to the project in our respective studios and welcome studio visits.
