Cerys Wiles’ and Frankie Matchitt-Millar’s practices reflect light back at each other, eroding the boundaries of individual art-making to a collective, ongoing discussion. Holding between them skills of painting, drawing, installation, ceramics, performance, and writing, this duo returns discipline to curiosity, following threads of embodied practice and wide scholarly research.
In Erosion is a Soft Force, Wiles and Matchitt Millar erode these boundaries of creative practice further. Working closely together, both the artists and their work engage in a correspondence. Across the white wall gallery, a delicate sound asks what this place might be beyond the infrastructure we have built to push change back. Here, institutional critique gives way to reciprocal relationships activating the deep care and potential of naturally eroding forces. Together, these artists explore their positionalities, reorienting themselves to face the wind and see what detritus falls from their skin to meet the land.
