Our project:

We are setting out to create a unique project that will cross physical borders and bring to light our collective style. Each artist will use their unique artistic style and materials of choice to add a layer to another artist’s painting to build a cohesive and physical representation of the group. 


Using old-fashioned snail mail we will send physical panels around the world, creating a series of original artworks, with each artist adding a layer in their own distinct medium and style, resulting in 98 layers divided between 14 paintings. Throughout the project we will document our ideas, adding to the story of each piece. 


During this process, we will be broadcasting regular online events every Thursday at 3: 30 PM EST (Join here), giving you the opportunity to get to know us and to not only view the process but to witness un-boxings, in-depth interviews and be the first to see some of the final creations upon its completion.

 

The project will culminate in a physical exhibition at a Vancouver, BC gallery in 2023 (exact dates and location to be announced), where we will finally meet each other in person for the first time and discover whether our pieces complement each other to the same extent as our personalities do.
