World Serpent drawing in charcoal, of a landscape, with a snake like creek running through it.
An old drawing of mine, titled World Serpent, but one I am returning to. It’s the proportions and warm, natural darkness of charcoal which interests me.
What does it mean to think through touch? 💭

We also think of the '&' as being like a serpent, the very same that whispered in Eve's ear and told her to eat the fruit – she was wise enough to listen! We too listen to the whispers from the darkness, from nature, from within.
We think of the artist as a servant of the creative spirit. Our job is to create what only we can create. This manifests differently for each of us and that's why it counts, it's about a myriad of unique perspectives. In this sense '&' is also a symbol of infinite possibilities.
We always use an '&' between our names, never an 'and'.
The '&' is like a magic thread which binds us, it represents the third component of our collaboration which is neither of us individually but the two of us combined.
We've been making mail art now for 7 years!
It all started with this letter, written as a kind of declaration of transformation and rebirth.

“Blind lichen - static lichen - not seeing and not moving as we see and move. A way of being beyond comprehension to the frenetic beat of our mammalian hearts.”

David Lynch’s world-building didn’t stop at film. His paintings, drawings, and photography expand his eerie, dreamlike storytelling beyond the screen.
We will explore how his art blurs the boundaries between the familiar and the uncanny.
