A Journey Through Time & Shapes by Dusty Peas.Self-published (Halifax, NS); 2009. Front Cover (top), Spread (bottom). |
Art Metropole is pleased to host a launch for a new zine and paper sculpture by
James Kirkpatrick and Jamie Q, collaboratively known as Dusty Peas. Their work combines absurdity and abstraction through intuitive freestyle processes. At once both calculated and haphazard, it speaks to the generative possibilities of constructive fun and good old-fashioned imagination.
A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME & SHAPES:
This silk-screened limited edition is the result of a residency at the Roberts Street Social Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The book includes prints of images built up using collage techniques, as well as their otherworldly paintings.
A companion to the deluxe zine, the Journey Through Time & Shapes DIY print/sculpture requires its owner's participation to reach its next level of existence. With some scissors and glue, you can build your own spacecraft. This limited edition was produced at the Ink Storm Screenprinting Collective in Halifax, Nova Scotia, as part of the Roberts Street Social Centre's artist-in-residence programme.
