Restrictive Nets

Proposal
When the beaches re-opened after the early part of COVID-19, the artists photographed the same landscapes that they had before the closures but felt compelled to mark up the new images with lines, bars, and nets. These “visual restrictions,” previously invisible, became apparent to the artists, who now see and feel these nets in the earth, sky, and water. The Installation/Performance/Ritual, entitled Restrictive Nets, will take place at Oleta State Park. 

Biography

They have often addressed and readdressed the idea of conflict/battle in their performances.
