Artwork by Ruth Fazakerley and Agnieszka Golda

Ruth Fazakerley and Agnieszka Golda, 2007, mixed media
 

Ruth Fazakerley and Agnieszka Golda  are working collaboratively to develop an installation as an outcome of a process of textual and practice-based investigations around the themes of affect, emotion and subjectivity in cultural and spatial contexts. Utilising research drawn from historical studies of perception, as well as contemporary fields of cultural geography and cultural studies, the artists will make use of individual expertise in both 2-dimensional imagery (painting, photography, textiles) and sculptural installation practices to construct a culturally, emotionally and visually charged body of work.
