Eleanor Clare og Dillan Marsh

In the feedback loop between brain and body, external stimulus such as sound triggers memories and emotions, for example sadness pushes internal liquids outside. Passing work back and forth between one another performs this dynamic: a dialogue between making and reflecting, from the tactile process of moulding clay, to the cerebral task of putting felt experience into language. We are interested in cycles of creation and destruction, ritual and folk custom – in historical and contemporary forms – to understand human experience and the creative drive.

Dillan Marsh (b.1980, York, MA Visual Art, Kunsthøgskolen i Bergen, 2011) and Eleanor Clare (b.1978, Guildford, MA Fine Art, Central Saint Martin’s, 2011), live and work in Bergen. Their work has been described as “a poem that focuses inwards towards its own creation: a kind of half screened creative test blast area with an all-embracing assault on the senses as a consequence” (Tommy Olsson, Klassekampen, 21.06.17).
