As part of their upcoming exhibition Symbiosis in Exotica, long time partners and artistic collaborators, Vashti Windish and Cameron Michel have chosen to consturct an alternate dimension that depicts an emotional discourse rarely investigated in modern art, Love.

Creating a mystical landscape filled with antediluvian archetypes and macabre imagery, this show manages to explore the work created by two devoted partners. Symbiosis in Exotica casts a shadow between reality and dream... and brings new meaning to the surreal.

Contextually speaking, Costumes made of white paper represent their love in its fragility, its purity--- its many textures, doilies and tissue paper combine to create a feeling of the ephemeral which explains how their emotions for one another would exist if they were tangible. Collage and sculpture reveal the multi-faceted and layered exaltations Vashti and Cameron experience together.

Beautiful, dark, vibrant and curious creatures, natural formations, and exotic visuals create their symbiosis; their balance depicted in both calm and chaotic mediums. They are a balance a meeting of the minds in magical exotica…

“We together are magical and true, this is the world in which our hearts live, and what is created when we meld as one”
