I have a starting point, an idea… a genesis. No set imagery… just a working methodology to construct from via deconstruction. I love to ask questions, so for this my work will take the line of an inquiry… an examination – of mine and Elena’s working practices. I will query, challenge, proposition and debate. No argument… just learning… progression… development. Building blocks… a pixel… a stitch… Elena is wrong when she states our work hasn’t overlapped until recently… We have been working together for over two years now and it amuses me that she’s not seen it… She warns that I will laugh at her… annoy her… But the conversations we have shared about her work has only informed and further advanced my own. We both alter what is already there… give new meaning. Collaboration gives me a second voice… you know… that whisper in your head… that that answers your doubts… reassures on the paths you follow… points out the errors… provides the new… teacher aiding teacher… learner supporting learner… friend informing friend… I aim to create an image each month for the conception of the show. That’ll involve a lot of prep work; research; selection and rejection; links to work and my own blog. Elena will assist me on this, ensuring that only quality will represent our partnership… she’ll surely try and keep me in check… won’t she? I won’t attach my name. I trust our styles are sufficiently different… I wonder if they’ll blend…
