Perception

The excitement of discovering hidden and often long forgotten locations and the thirst to understand the lives that were enjoyed, the struggles, the joy, industry, opulence and frivolity, that those physical places were witness to, is what drives both artists. To look at such a place, some in the death throes of decay, others hidden by the ravages of nature, with so much now lost to living memory, one initially considers only the frailty and futility of our fragile human life and the overwhelming power of time and nature. But the artists wish to offer something slightly unexpected, provoke the viewer to look closer; hinting at the layers upon layers of history hidden beneath the surface and suggest fleeting shadows of life.
