Agnieszka & Ruth work collaboratively as artists. Recent research around themes of affect, emotion & subjectivity in cultural and spatial contexts resulted in the exhibition 'spill'. Our research is drawn from historical studies of perception; contemporary fields of cultural geography & cultural studies; & individual expertise in painting, photography, textiles & sculpture.
