working back and
forth with their “signature” imagery, processes, and materials,
eileen & tamar (ET) look to trouble questions of authorship by dressing up
in the other’s clothes. patron saints of a sort (such as miss havisham) animate
an expanded field where lifestyle, mortality, and agency are explored through
tactile encounters with paper, silk, canvas, chemistry, technology, ink, and
glass.

in a time of
draining grim tidings, ET channel new energy through transgressive, playful
recycling where mediums, messaging, and artistic identities merge and collapse.

Ahhhhh…. I was
thinking of this note I wrote earlier of : SHARED EXPERIENCE.
I’ve been meditating lately, since this summer. Its a new thang.
One of the lessons is to let go of the I. And to accept being a part of
a shared experience. That the narrative in reality isn’t only about me.
This collaboration in a funny way is just that.

My thoughts traveled
to our social time in the world… politics, nationally and globally.
How truly to understand someone else I get the feeling that one has to
live as the other person to get an understanding. Reading and watching… listening…
isn’t enough. If we can somehow let go of the ME and the I, and accept
that in truth its a WE…. To collaborate perhaps would bring better
understanding.

I am excited and
nourished by our collaboration especially because of these difficult global
times….

to tamar
hey tamar. i’m tired. what we’ve done for this show feels
like a beginning, which is why i’m reluctant to limit it with these words. there
are so many questions when it comes to working together. practical ones like
what do we call this? what do we call us? is some of this work mine? is some of
it yours? should all of it be ours? where does appropriation end and
collaboration begin? is it always a little bit of both? and i’m not even
mentioning what it’s about. we both know miss havishams, in their crumbling
environs. we both think about play and percussivity in art. we toggle between
abstraction and figuration, surface and substance. we love fashion theatrics
and code mixing. our natural inclination is to dress like twelve year old boys.
we are the youngest in our families. we lost our fathers young. we went to
school together. we are ET.
