BETWEEN PAINTERS
A collaboration by Maya Irving and Lucille Bone
The essence of our collaboration evolved naturally as we began exploring what we discovered to be our shared themes of creating.
Words limit us.
Movement is our predominant language. This collaboration ‘Between Two Bodies’ is to explore the way in which our bodies move together and as one. The space in which we exist together invites our shared themes of playfulness, sensuality and intuition.
As we yielded into the unknown to further understand one another’s mediums, we began giving each other the permission to explore with no rules. We learnt to describe the indescribable and correspond with what was not spoken but understood. The honouring of each other’s practice gifted us to sit in silence and practise patience, noticing what we were both feeling in the moment which led to purposeful unraveling. Emotion, sexuality, touch and embodied knowing. We together have journeyed through an unearthing and spontaneous process which has captured truth within each expressive modality.
These works of collage, painting, photography and movement symbolize the body as the tool which guides and leads our direction as we create together.
