What the Creators Say:
"Art is infinite. It takes many shapes and forms; meaning different things to different people—but why? … No Idea. That’s why we’re Art & Inquiry, not Art & Answers. We’re here to explore art through curious questions and creative stories" | "We’re artists, not magicians… but we do a little magic on the side. Think of us as your permission slip to create & experiment —with zero pressure but loads of fun." |
