Gertrude Stein’s “I am because my little dog knows me” speaks to the unique and unfixed nature of identity. Is our sense of self substantiated by the recognition of another? Stein’s little dog represents the love of an other, a space that suspends judgement on the understanding the “I” is a flowing, evolving entity.


Curiosity and interrogation drive our individual practices. In our own ways we seek to understand and appreciate the uneasy dynamics between identity, the mind and the environments in which we are situated. We use the joys and tensions of creating to disrupt a stable and seamless performance of the self and identity, energies that are intricate, boundless, non-propositional. Our backgrounds, places of birth, our potentials and our expectations become the here and now. While we work throughout different media, or utilise resources in similar ways, it is our present – and our time together – that demand and drive our creative exploration.
