18.1.21 – 7.2.21
MASH is a collaborative practice between emerging artists Gwenllian Davenport and Abi Charlesworth. Established as an outlet to experiment and support each other after graduating from their BA Fine Art course at Bath School of art and Design in 2019, their ethos as a duo is to make playfully, accept mistakes and to ultimately have fun.
As a collaborative, MASH uses an innovative approach to rethink materials to hand. This explorative way of making allows them to work directly with materials curiously in the moment, producing unknown outcomes. They describe their collaborative making process, simply, as a mashing of ideas, approaches and methods. MASH aims to engage tangibly with materials, making use of the gripping, squelching, patting, smoothing and the spreading of surfaces.
Si-So
With the support of Arcade-Campfa, MASH will explore the capabilities of remote collaboration. Utilising the online residency to continue their practice, they will exercise the sensibilities of a see- saw (Si-So) by taking it in turns to add, edit, and adapt a new body of work.
