Parker and Winship, both abstract artists, discovered a strong connection between their 2D and 3D work. Their processes are similar and the resulting paper collages and wood sculptures, share an expressive commonality. Both artists begin with a vast collection of pieces; a variety of shapes, colors and textures (Parker using magazine pages and Winship reclaimed wood scraps) which they then refine and alter. After arranging and rearranging, multiple times, just the right expressive and compositional fit is discovered. Because their works rely on gravity, Winship's by necessity and Parker’s by design, figures in dialogue are suggested, some in harmony others in tension.
