CONTINUUM (2021)
Collaborative work created by married couple Jasmine Gonzalez and Elliot 'Askew' O'Donnell, exhibited at Christchurch based Fiksate Gallery. It came in the wake of an incredibly disruptive year during the global pandemic and is based on a philosophical outlook they developed as a coping mechanism. Appreciating that nothing happens in a vacuum and everything is part of a larger continuum.
During the pandemic, Jasmine who comes from a fashion design background turned her interests back to photography. Elliot comes from a graffiti and large-scale muralism background but has also maintained a consistent studio practice over the last decade. These works are a fusion of analog and digital techniques and a highly collaborative, process-driven approach. They also worked with Elliot's mother Meghann Humphries (florist) and Jahra Wasasala (performing artist and poet) in the creation of these 8 pieces.
