M&M Michelle Bird & Mike Albrow.
Our future as a shared future was the premise of our choice of subject matter. We agreed on a medium - a dialect representative of our subjects. The young adults who would form and shape the world we share. We talked through feasible approaches, drawing from our artistic ideals and processes of experimentation. Fond conversations with the young adults depicted in the painting came to mind as we worked. As a result of our ten working sessions we grew as painters and learned essential dynamics of collaboration: working towards a common goal, avoiding preconceptions, giving space to the unexpected and discovering a language of painting unique to us both.
