We are often asked, “How do you collaborate?”
For us, true collaboration involves a letting go of the ego, which allows the piece to develop a life and voice of its own, separate from the individual needs of the artists. We share a deep love of the subject and a fascination with discovering new techniques. Having two minds working towards the same goal produces exponential growth in ideas and output. Working on many pieces at one time removes the precious importance of one single painting, and allows us a consistent flow of creative energy. We believe that we are also collaborating with the material, allowing it to have its own expression whenever possible. By giving up control, we make wonderful discoveries about the work and each other. (continues)

Artist Statement: The Painting does not end at the edges of the canvas. Forms give way to color fields that are works in of themselves. Entranced by this process, I change as the work evolves, creator-being-created, the work says who it was who painted it --Michael Esposito
