Siblings Alice and Joe
Woodhouse have an intriguing working strategy which is part artists dialogue and
part a game of call and
response.
Their work for Form began as
a series of grids onto which both of them in turn drew without conferring. After
numerous edits and rearrangements the final result was achieved when both
artists felt the work to be complete.
This secret sibling world
throws up an intriguing pictorial vocabulary. Although the fleeting images may
appear arbitrary, recurring themes emerge with variable personal and theoretical
significance for the artists. Their collective images suggest post modern
architectural references and virtual landscapes stripped back to their
beginnings which they say are 'laced with anecdotes from a collapsed society.
Grids emit drips, graves unravel and minimalist gestures turn into faulty
structures.'
