For the 2022 PINK PROGRESSION: SYNERGY exhibition I revisited my collaboration with artist and fellow RedLine Alum Ashely Frazier, entitled Untitled Collaboration with Eggshells, that was first debuted in 2020 as part of the PINK PROGRESSION: COLLABORATIONS exhibition.

In this series Frazier and I merged our artistic practices to explore the different meanings that can be inferred from an eggshell. Through out history eggs have been viewed as a symbol of hope and purity as well as fertility and the circle of life. By reimagining eggshells in a sculptural context it is our intent as artists for the viewer to explore the works and find their own associations within the scenes presented. Collaborating during a pandemic added another layer to the work as we worked separately in our own spaces the collaboration reveals itself in the final installation as the works come together like two halves of a whole.

PINKPROGRESSION is an open collective that explores social issues and concepts, such as human rights, equality, gender, identity, feminism, and more. In 2020, PINKPROGRESSION organized a series of exhibitions that featured collaborations. A selection of eight artworks from these shows are featured in SYNERGY. The synergy between artists in this exhibition inspired multi-faceted works with diverse approaches. Collaboration involves a leap into the unknown, a place of vulnerability, a way to find humility, and the blending of minds to obtain wisdom + common ground.
