COLLABORATION STATEMENT<br />
What brought us together was a shared belief in a studio practice that<br />
is based on an ongoing engagement with the world. This engagement<br />
manifests itself as part <strong>of</strong> a daily regimen; it is as much a part <strong>of</strong> our<br />
lives as eating.<br />
We are also committed to a creative practice<br />
that is cultivated with great attentiveness, free<br />
from the demands we place on our social and<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional lives, and that relies upon a rigorous<br />
interplay between autonomy and mutuality.<br />
Respond is a salient word that characterizes both<br />
<strong>of</strong> our processes; we respond to the intrinsic<br />
qualities <strong>of</strong> the media with which we work and to<br />
the conditions in society that induce us to create.<br />
We do not make work to illustrate ideas or develop<br />
narratives; rather, we are both interested in how<br />
our work embodies meaning, incites reflection,<br />
and situates the viewer in a liminal space that<br />
embraces uncertainty as a precondition to growth<br />
and new experience.<br />
Our intersection was structured around the<br />
dialogue we had while present in each other’s<br />
studios: meaningful and lasting conversations<br />
about making art and living life.<br />
