COMPASSION - Collaborative Artist Book Project - June/July 2019 - Old Ambulance Gallery, Nambour
Working Collaboratively with Others
Rigley considered compassion as an exchange between different individuals, with empathy, trust and an understanding of another’s arts practice key to the collaborative outcome. Destruction or preservation became an integral part of creation, as each artist contributed to the beginning or end of the structure. Strategies of how to respond to the object, to letting go of concrete connections to the tangible thing, and to the production of a ‘cohesive’ visual language were explored in the undertaking. Collaboration – a quite wonderful and intriguing process – has, as its foundation, both courage and compassion.
Collaborating artists include Barbara Dover, Pamela Kusabs, Lorraine Lamothe, and Beth Smith.
