Material Connections

From the beginning, our collaboration has centered on connection. The connection between materials, time, place, and people. Throughout the residency, we exchanged materials and notes through the mail. These materials included collected images, painted papers, dried plants, and recycled materials from around the house such as pieces of clothing and junk mail.  We made our first collages from materials we had each collected and combined from our past projects. The series “Material Connections” began as an exploration of materials and techniques, exchanging our perspectives and ways of working. Some pieces we created individually while others we mailed back and forth.
