Our first series. May 2010.

 The first time Bri and Jackie collaborated in the studio, they did not know that they'd continue to grow as an artistic unit over the course of their thesis year at Moore.  But they did know that their processes, concepts, and intention merged easily.  They fed off one another's energy which yielded a momentum like nothing they'd experienced individually.  They pushed one another's sense of color, composition, and intuition, encouraged by a strong mutual trust.  They let go of attachment to old work and began tearing up, gluing, painting and drawing over almost everything they'd created and "finished" in the past year.  They recycled old work to make new work, and realized that they found more meaning in change than in stasis.  A series was born, which they proudly showed, collectively, at their final critique of their junior year.  One night in the studio, they were playing one of their favorite games...oral exquisite corpse (free association generated poetry) and an interesting word came out of a collaged sounds.  Jackie, who really enjoys silly things like phoenetics, spelled it.  Kerdiekrdaad.  Which has since gained a mysterious e...Kerdieekrdaad.  And art for Bri and Jackie has not been the same since.
