Edwards+Johann, Congressions #60 (2016), Collage on found postcard.

Join us in conversation with artist duo Edwards+Johann to learn more about their collaborative practice and their exhibition at the Pah Homestead, Events Growing From The Edge Of Spaces.

Edwards and Johann’s collaborative work interweaves drawing, painting, performative activities, video and installation with photography. A connecting thread in their visual storytelling is the use of the obsessive line drawing over an existing object as motif for the tensions and dichotomies inherent in life. The gradual process of drawing, part of the work’s becoming is a probing and mapping of new territory. Drawing acts like an obsessive caress on the photographic surface, finding form and meaning. Their images seem both inherently stable yet also subject to temporality. They present a ground in which sensitivities and questions of existence can be played out.
Utilising a range of media and methods in their work, their collaborative approach is a process based research lab. Sole authorship becomes obsolete in the process of making new work and in any of their projects/exhibitions.
