| DAVE AND JENN - Statement |
![]() |
"How many scattered values we should succeed in concentrating, if we lived the images of our daydreams in all sincerity." -Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space
Dave and Jenn are our adventuring not so alter-Alter Egos, they are the shadows of us walking through a world where the landscape is the main protagonist, a place created by our shared and over-saturated minds. The world of Dave and Jenn is real and it is not. Make-believe, technology, real time, science, the Internet, the art world, history and hearsay: it all makes its way into our inner world. And in turn these things will eventually escape into the outside again. Our work is about inner landscapes, predominately the one the two of us share, as well as the mythology that arises from this. Our practice is one of co-authourship and so we have chosen to lose our individual identities in favour of a team moniker. We often identify ourselves as landscape painters, focusing on the mutation of our subject and genre. We look to the history of painting to find our position on the map, using the precedents as a means to move on and in our own direction.
