The theme for this edition of our Home-Works series grew out of a conversation that the collective had at one of our on-line monthly meetings for Rosalux. It began as a lamentation of not having informal and regular in person connections with other artists and how it was affecting each others studio practices and then evolved into a discussion about the artists we had known that had the biggest impact on our careers.
One of the most valuable aspects of being a member of the Rosalux collective is the network of artists that our members have the opportunity to work with and the lasting relationships that have formed over the time we have spent with one another. Reflecting on these relationships and the importance of having reliable counsel and inspiration in the form of a like minded peer group, we decided to each invite one other artists who has had an impact in some way on our own careers and creativity to be a part of this edition. Each artist has paired a piece of their own work alongside their guest and offered a little insight into their personal relationship in addition to the visual. While we are unable to be amongst our friends at the moment, we take some comfort in being able to co-mingle in these pages while we work towards connecting in new spaces and places once again.
