Process

“Art comes from not knowing, from allowing a deeper truth to come forth. Touching, sensing, playing with what arises as a relationship unfolds. Art is the witness, the testimony of this exchange” Cecilia Vicuña

As part of our exhibition we have installed a 'process wall' including collected objects, gifts, materials, photographs, samples and experiments. It is not often that as part of an an exhibition we are able to see some of the process behind the resolved or finished artwork.  Nicole and I approached the process wall as another collaborative aspect of our project. To install the wall, we first laid out a selection of the objects that had been informing our work and samples that had we had made along the way.  We installed in silence, each taking turns to add an item to the wall.  Our objects and samples hanging side by side, blurring the line between author and owner.  Not all the items we laid out made it onto the process wall.  We had decided to use tape and blu tack to attach the items to the wall before deciding on final positioning, but once we had concluded the install it seemed the masking tape should stay.  The temporary and spontaneous nature of the process wall was something we wanted to celebrate, that it was not fixed or overly conceptualised - it was representative of what we had been doing all along throughout making the work for the exhibition, sensing and playing.
