IMPROVISATION - A test of trust and commitment.
In 2018, “the Heavies” embarked on a collaboration exercise.
The exercise started with six (6) blank canvases. The main objective was to improvise, in which each artist was free to fully express themselves.
Each Heavie had two (2) weeks to work on their canvas, then it was forwarded to the next Heavie.
We created a route that ensured each Heavie received a canvas they hadn't seen before, having the opportunity to contribute to this new piece of art in any way they envisioned.
The originating artist never saw their canvas until the end of the six-artist rotation. In fact, no one had an opportunity to view any canvas after sending it to another Heavie, until the end of this journey!
The canvases resulted in these amazing pieces of artwork!
The exercise strengthened our commitment as artists, understanding that art is intimate to its creator; for allowing another artist to alter one's vision of the world was our true test.
