lyndall adams is a painter and digital printmaker.
Fiona Fell is a ceramic artist.
They are both interested in notions of post feminist arts practice and representations of the body.
They are both interested in each others processes.
Their common interests set up an environment in which a collaboration is possible that looks at each others processes and practices and explores the potential for a rethinking of self and other.
This collaboration explicitly plays with the notions of foreign bodies and of the stranger and possibly estrangement. These works are neither a representation of the outsider, the stranger, nor a representation of the self, while being all simultaneously, allowing debates surrounding both self portraiture and representation to be unwrapped. This exhibition introduces the idea of collaboration between artists’ being somehow an issue of interactions between bodies, performativity and emergence or becoming.
“Are these works self-portraits or a possibility for the self-portrait, if we think of self-portraiture as inviting interaction, interactivity and inter-subjectivity? We are questioning the critical exchange between artists and possibly between artists and viewer.”
