Two-Headed Wak

Two sisters. Not conjoined. Two heads but also two bodies.

Boo, Forever Spinning like a ghost on the bottom of a top, I am haunted by all the space that I will live without you. - Lydia

These are a couple of old iPhone photos of my bedroom desk area, both of which were taken using Diana F+ Flash lighting gels (which Lydia also used in her most recent photo). - Becky

Another from Thursday. Very different vibes. Description here. - Lydia

A new photo! It felt so nice to be out with my camera again. This is Becky (if you didn't know) - Lydia

I missed a day! Shame on me (+ sorry Lydia). Here are some lino printed hands. - Becky

Train travel with my friend Toni (Berwick to Newcastle) Becky missed a day! Shame on Becky. - Lydia

A throwback to AS level art (the stage that Becky's at now) to a project on Aboriginal art and the idea of an infinite cycle where urban settlements destroy nature, are abandoned, and reclaimed by natural overgrowth. I'm fairly sure it was worded more eloquently when I did the project. This is my beautiful friend Emma modelling a body paint pattern I designed based on my studies of Aboriginal art and body painting. - Lydia

A few months ago our lovely friend Sophie was kind enough to let me get this close to her face and project a papercut onto it. - Becky

I bought a tent (ft. my mum's hair) - Lydia

A set of old scanographs featuring my left hand and a range of squashed plant heads. - Becky

Another double feature from me! This is a so-far-mini series of mine called Tuck The Darkness In. I really want to expand on this so I can't say for sure what the final encompassing theme will be, but the above two photos have both been taken in hotel rooms that I've stayed in while travelling, and are a portrait of who I've been sharing them with. The top photo is our older sister Charlotte in a Holiday Inn in Monterey Bay, California, during our road trip down the Pacific Coast Highway in 2013 with our dad. The bottom photo is my friend Bethany in Hotel Pennsylvania during a trip to New York with our degree class. The series is named after a lovely song of the same title by Bowerbirds. If anyone fancies being a model for this, all you need to do is take me on a really nice holiday and book a hotel room. You're paying. Thanks. - Lydia

An estimated 170 billion people have ever lived. Learning this made my intellect slightly bigger, myself feel a little bit smaller and possibly provided subconscious inspiration for the pattern above. - Becky

[twoheadedwak]

This is me (big fish) apologising to Becky (little fish) by being one hour and three minutes too late to post on my day. (This was taken in the koi carp pond in Sunderland Winter Gardens) - Lydia

[twoheadedwak]

I wanted to post something new today but nothing I've experimented with recently has gone to plan! So here's an old papercut projection instead. - Becky

[twoheadedwak]

Recently I've been lucky enough to be involved with a project up in Berwick, and here's a photo I took on one occasion of a piper during the town's 406th annual tradition called Riding Of The Bounds. I assume he hasn't played all four hundred and six years but kudos nonetheless, he was a sweet old man. - Lydia

A repetitive fineliner and watercolour pattern I drew/painted as a title page for an art project on the theme of personal possessions. - Becky
