The dance within our studios is our common thread. We playfully move from one material to the next, guided by intuition. Our materials often become dancers themselves, performing clunky childhood memories and the awkward grace of stepping beyond them. As painters and sculptors, we engage in the making process propelled by improvised movement and hard-won instinct.
