We’ve been co-creating life/art projects, images, sculptures, prints, and small publications for nearly 20 years. We love to make in response to what we read and to the experience of reading and writing itself, whether on a page, sign, riverbank or street. Within that frame, our pieces function like actualized marginalia, scribed next to existing paragraphs and cultural phenomena.  Often grounded in play and in translating between text and image, their work expands the linear, individual act of reading into visual, collective form. We make as a way of continually reshaping our approach to the mysteries and predicaments of the world. 

Our work has appeared in many public places as well as at institutions such as SPACES (Cleveland, OH); Renaissance Society (Chicago, IL); Boise State University (Boise, ID); Tacoma Art Museum (Tacoma, WA); Schneider Museum of Art (Ashland, OR); Locust Projects (Miami, FL); Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (Portland, OR); and on the pages of NOON Literary Annual. We live in Portland, OR, where one of us teaches at multiple colleges and the other builds things for people. We like to spend our non-work time hanging out with our two kids, making and sending postcards, and reading about already-existing socialisms or the mysteries of the natural world. We are currently represented by PDX Contemporary Art.
