Ross:
In order for this collaboration to work each individual practice cannot stray too far from the other, and we must have a continual correspondence through our visual thoughts.
With this in mind I am currently putting together a pack to send to Richard. He has been utilising photography to create images from his studio. My understanding is that these works are a representation of Richard’s studio practice. Sketches for ideas, collaged to create work. They act as an overview as to what Richard has been doing. I have the impression that these will grow into more sculptural forms in a gallery context and are to sit side by side with my work.
In order to make sure these don’t juxtapose with my practice Richard has asked me to send him some images from my working processes. No finished pieces, just sketches, ideas and the likes.
So this is what I will do.
What ever Richard chooses to do with these is wholly up to him but my presence will be imbedded inside each works.
I trust him fully.
