shishko & moseley

long time friends, adrienne shishko and suzanne moseley met periodically before the pandemic to create art together as a way of looking at their individual practices through a different lens. both shared a process-driven approach and an orientation towards vibrant, energetic work, so mingling their techniques was exciting. during these improvisational art sessions, they each initiated work from shared materials, then switched midway through to continue working into the other’s piece. shishko’s masses of discarded clothing, acquired from acquaintances, soon became a counterpoint to stacks of unresolved screenprints and cyanotypes contributed from moseley’s studio. cutting both bodies of material into strips and weaving through and around other found objects, the two identified an interesting tension between shishko’s focus on our hollow throw-away culture and moseley’s attention to the hallowed nature of treasured objects. a new collaboration was born.
