Working as a tightly paired system, one intuitive, one analytical, they cut, shape and assemble painted strips into intricate reliefs. Their ongoing body of work, <em>Canvas on Edge</em>, shifts the role of the medium itself, letting the edge of the canvas carry color, light and movement.</p>\n<p>Across series like <em>Flow</em>, <em>Conic</em> and <em>Flourish</em>, that approach unfolds in different ways. In <em>Flow</em>, ribbon-like strips bend and loop into continuous rhythms that shift as you move, creating subtle optical motion. <em>Conic</em> builds density instead, with thousands of tightly rolled forms forming coral-like fields, each edge painted to reveal or conceal color depending on the angle. <em>Flourish</em> leans into repetition, layering looping forms into blooming, almost botanical compositions.</p>\n<p>What ties everything together is the work&#8217;s responsiveness. These pieces are not static images but shifting surfaces, where color and form stay in constant negotiation. As the viewer moves, so does the work, turning a fixed frame into something far more active and spatial.
