Hand Over
A joint exhibition with Gabrielle Lockwood Estrin and Rosie Vohra at South Block Gallery in Glasgow
May - June 2024
The exhibition explored collage as a process and principle that is inextricably linked to human connection, growth and sustainability. Through reusing existing materials and reshaping them, we created a new body of work that addresses themes of absence, presence, connection, and belonging.
The heart of our collaboration lies in a continuous exchange of drawings, collages, and paintings, either through post or in person, spanning many years, life events, and locations. This ongoing dialogue forms the basis of our creative process, where each work responds to the last, fostering a conversation of back and forth. By relinquishing control to each other for each iteration of the exchange, we embrace play as a central element, allowing for the unexpected to enrich their collaborative dialogue.
Their collaborative process embodies a playful exploration of rupturing, reforming, and repurposing old works as they create new connections and meanings, rooted in their shared understanding of the themes we explore. This collaborative endeavour, rich with the depth of each artist’s perspective, invites viewers to engage with the work on multiple levels.
