Toothpick and Horseradish, of Pembroke, Maine and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have shown in numerous venues in both states.
Toothpick, a graduate of Ball State University, does experimental works in book formats. She writes of her work: “I work in the interface between composing soundscapes, painting (acrylic and watercolor) on triangular canvases and poetic writing of all kind. Using InDesign and Photoshop, I create art books in an effort to bring these three art forms together in one object. I hope that the interactions between … me and the object and you … will bridge the gaps between us.”
Horseradish, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, writes about his work: “I try to excite the eye by twisting colours. I try to let my hand please my eye.”
