The aim of our collaboration with Judith Stewart is to conceive an intellectual context for the work we’ve been making.
We are committed to developing domestic and employment routines which allow parenting and artwork to co-exist without one of these becoming dominant over the other.
The way our practice is sustained at the moment is by using opportunities and portions of time that open up during the family day or whilst at work. The drawings, films and photos we have made in this way go under the group title Artists As Parents As Artists. A few of these works have been shown publicly, but mostly they exist out of the public view. For us, this makes the works’ status unstable. At times these works seem to be making a statement of wider relevance about the creative possibilities of the everyday, and about the tensions and hierarchies that are expressed in domestic life. At other times their relevance seems to contract to the borders of our own family, and the practice appears to be simply an expanded version of the family photo album.
