Parentheses 1 & 2 stand as the beginning and end of Cadejo. We built a large custom double-sided painting easel. We stretched two large canvases on each side. This way of operating allowed for each piece to progress simultaneously and kept our momentum flowing. To further push the momentum, we added the notion of time. One day, we set timers and worked timed intervals, rotating the easel after each session. By the end of the day, both canvases were fully covered with marks, capturing our attempts to fully conceptualize ideas.
In the week that followed, we began to edit by discussing which marks and ideas should stay and which should be removed. At this point of the process, with the information that was left, we began a dialogue of pushing and pulling to determine the state of success, content, and finish. The result led us to two beings that we believe found us.
