Hi all!
We are excited to be back from the Salton Sea, California and have completed our residency program.
In the midst of all of the challenges due to the pandemic we pushed through and adapted. This year we offered the opportunity to work remotely and meet in person on-site to survey the landscape, document, and forage.
It was an incredible journey in a highly charged environment of decay and development that informed our works and pushed the boundaries of our art practices. I would like to send a BIG thank you to Anthony and Denise for their time and devotion towards the project this year. All of their new works are thoughtful, evocative, and beautiful. The works are reflections of who we are as beings on this planet.
You may view slides of our new work online as well as our statement for this project:

We are filled with gratitude to get to continue to work together collectively and we have learned from this years format that mobility, agility, and allowance of time and space are integral. Moving forward we have changed our programming to a biennial residency to allow more time for planning, studio time and potential exhibition programming in between each years residency. We are also expanding the program to include on-site research and development in addition to the art making process within the studio.
Stay tuned for more details as we approach our next residency in 2022.
“Art is the spirit behind it, and spirit is the art behind it all.”
With love,
Tobias
