Farm Projects is pleased to present “Materiality,” an exhibition of collaborative works by artists Adrienne Shishko and Suzanne Moseley, known collectively as MOSH Studio. In their upcycled, mixed-media artworks, the artists embrace a “yes and...” improvisational mentality to combine their distinct creative skillsets which include painting, sculpture, and weaving with repurposed materials on Shishko’s side and printmaking, alternative photography, and eco processes on Moseley’s side. The resulting artworks explore the alchemy possible at the nexus of opposing powers, asking the question: what generative solutions might emerge where two disparate forces converge?

This exhibition marks the culmination of their two-year residency with Farm Projects, during which they created a series of works that contend with the impact of consumer culture on coastal environments. The works on view are designed to draw viewers in with vibrant colors and textures, rewarding close looking with the recognition of familiar pieces of detritus now elevated and transformed. Through this work, the artists seek to explore the tension between our desire for convenience and our desire to protect our most beloved environments. With their own practice serving as a model, the exhibition posits collaboration as the key to unlocking heightened creativity, empathy, and appreciation so that we might address the most pressing issues of our time.
