encounters (encontros)
A collaborative drawing project - Nina Fraser & Marta Angelozzi
A salvaged root becomes a powerful metaphor for uprootedness—physically removed from its origin, but still carrying its history, form, and potential to regenerate or connect in new contexts. It speaks to the paradox of being both disconnected and still capable of forming new attachments.
Through materials that accumulate and remove, the paper is excavated and stratified, becoming a place of exchange - shaped by time, water, heat, and interaction. Mark-making becomes a trace of behaviour, a memory of an encounter that concretises the relations, dynamics and tensions between the artists and their subject matter.
Investigating questions that arise from collaborative practice, there is an inherent discomfort that is transformed into an open ended dialogue. Rhizomatic expansion defined through the process creates space for new connections, networks, and collective engagement—shaped by each artist’s position within social and relational art practices.
