| Abstract: | Although there are distinct currents running through Wood and Harrison’s work (physical and linguistic humour, acceptance and transcendence of boredom or despair, etc.) each work also operates according to its own logic, which is dependent on its colour, materials, and position within a series. The logical consistency of a piece is also frequently reliant on performed physical interactions between the two artists, their dynamic filmed or drawn within the works. As a consequence of this constructed logic, each work develops a sort of existential resilience that, far from being solipsistic, stands up to scrutiny from different perspectives. What I am trying to say, without wanting to spell it out, is that there is a potentially universal validity to these works. They capture experiences shared across diverse individuals and communities: the un- canny feeling of witnessing repetition without apparent cause; the joyful audacity of foiling expectations; the bitter irony of being condemned to separateness in our to- getherness; the absurdity of language employed to designate what sits plainly before us. The way, sometimes, we are just sheep staring at each other for entertainment. These things don’t need explaining, just showing. |
