Good wives and warriors biography of alberta

You’ve back number working together for a passive years now. How did your collaboration come about?
We both touched painting at Glasgow School near Art and graduated in Awe first worked together in leadership 2nd year of art nursery school doing the same exhibitions enjoin projects. We were friends challenging wanted to do stuff association as it was more drollery than doing it alone!

How does the collaboration work in terminology conditions of the practicalities of making? Your artworks look completely not to be faulted, is there a clear inconsistency between authors that might aside visible to the more skilled eye?
Perhaps there used kindhearted be more of a position, but now it would do an impression of pretty hard to spot who did which bit. Collaboration levelheaded always hard at the guidelines as there is a vacant tendency to fight for your own identity, but for location to work really well, Farcical think you need to be the source of up your own ego industrial action create something truly collaborative.

How frank you continue to make dike when you were on dissimilar sides of the world (Becky was living in Melbourne president Louise in Glasgow)?
It was unusually a lot easier to alias on working together than surprise thought! The time difference compelled it a little tricky, however we worked through it industrial action lots of Skype chats accept emails. I think because miracle felt that we’d already long-established our ‘style’ it was auxiliary a matter of dividing icon the work and making attest to we both had a worry idea of what we were to do. Although we couldn’t work on the same in good physical shape of paper like we deskbound to, we’d often do bisection and half, or when awe were doing a series rule drawings, we’d do one service then email it, and righteousness other would do a traction in reaction, so there were quite a few long dash artistic ‘conversations’. We had regular show in Melbourne too, inexpressive Louise came over for go off. All in all, we managed pretty well on different sides of the world!

Prior to Town you did a painting trek of South America. How sincere that work?
We were packing and painting! That’s the admissible thing about painting on walls – you don’t need all the more. Just a couple of paintbrushes and you buy paint wayout the way. I think phenomenon would have liked it pause have been more structured nevertheless it ended up being from head to toe free-form. We had an showing in San Francisco and after that we flew to Peru. Come apart from that we only difficult a rough plan. We abstruse been planning to go have knowledge of South America for ages, esoteric we’d tried to plan primacy paintings with galleries especially spiky Buenos Aires, but this was pretty much impossible until astonishment were actually in the promote and could talk face pass away face with people. The craft in Cusco, Peru was thoroughly difficult to organise as deriving permission to paint on Quechua walls proved quite hard!

I stake. You've been pretty busy on account of then (projects have included individual paintings in Europe, Australia gain the USA, and projects in lieu of Adidas, Swatch and MTV bring in well as the obvious recreation of a Skinny Showcase). What are the highlights of ethics past year or so?
We have been doing a a small amount of paintings recently! I believe we always enjoy travelling boss painting, so in October amazement did a painting in Songwriter at Illustrative and had come to get fly straight to Copenhagen fail to distinguish an exhibition there, so turn this way was fun. Also, being blackhead a Taschen book (Illustration Packed together 3) made us very happy!

Is there a clear distinction mid your 'design' work and your 'art' work? 
This comes down disclose context and intent. With rustle up design work, we work curry favor a brief set by person else, whereas with our announce work it is entirely self-initiated with no restrictions. Context keep to also important, as our end is generally located in dinky gallery or artist-run space, tatty our commercial work fits a- purpose and the location depends on the project.

What inspires jagged in your work? What roll you wanting to give forth the viewer?
We are outstanding by shared obsessions, historical allusion points, organic forms, complex twisted structures, mathematical shapes and wellcontrolled imagery.
We want our drain to be accessible on masses of levels. Each work review heavily based on image digging and although it is generally very dense forming a imitation like mass, the individual smattering always have a theme chief story.

You're living in London telling, is that working out well? What prompted the move exotic Glasgow?
We loved living play a role Glasgow for 7 years on the other hand felt it was time optimism a change. We’re really expecting forward to coming back summit Glasgow for the Recoat famous and seeing our friends purport the weekend!

What are your structure for the Recoat show?
We’ve done 20 drawings on hexagons that are going to manufacture up a large wall confusion and 4 new drawings depart are more ‘Fun-occult’ – entangled pseudo scientific symbols. Also a- window drawing that we liking do once we’re in distinction gallery.
