Reality shifts, spaced between future, present and past.
Cut through steel, the edges of the world
imprinted, to leave the beginning behind;
embossed, held still, framed in place - this place (remember).
Exposing the moments marked by dust and rust.
Layers of erosion on skin. on land. on
those other containers of life we seek:
in and out, collaborate, to contaminate - tied by the sands of time.

Language and translation are core subjects in their practice - questioning the dissemination of knowledge and seeking alternative modes of communication. Through a poetic approach, they construct objects, texts, images, and sound that often manifest as multi-media installations, and build frameworks for dialogue and collaboration.
The relationships between image-object, physical-virtual, verbal-nonverbal, past-future, regeneration-decay are highly significant in their practice, reflecting the ongoing exchange and multitude of experiences that exist when making art as a non-singular artist. These are not thought of in binary or opposition, but as a constellation or dialectic diagram - where the tensions and flux of invisible structures/voids/the-in-betweeen blur notions of hierarchy and obstruct linear readability.
