Artist's Statement
Art that comes from the interactions of collaborators arises from a special talent. The work always grows out of conversations. So the focus is not about producing an art object, at first -- but about relations, engagement, language, and meaning.
We are working on woven structures that incorporate light and space. They are large, modular, woven panels of fiber optic thread that are attached to LEDs, programmed to display patterns and colors from the internet and from live video and sound sources.
The ice sculptures bring attention to issues about the electoral process, the economy and class. These temporary monuments have been installed during the political conventions in Denver and St. Paul, and the 2008 economic crisis in New York City.
To communicate, to provoke conversation, to engage the public - this is the arena we work in.
