Over the summer, 2011, Roberta Buchan and I decided to collaborate on a piece of work for the 'Fabric of the Land' exhibition in Aberdeen. Roberta is a printmaking student and was happy to respond to some latex pieces which I had been using to record the moulding and general decomposition of my bread body. Her response was a collograph. We called them the 'dancing collographs' as she made the latex look quite dynamic.

I also made some other little latex remnants from the bread surface which made an interesting mobile.

We both felt there was a lot of learning to be taken from collaborating on a piece of work. I feel it is important to listen to each other, be flexible and not too precious about your own work. Its exciting too, when you spark ideas off each other and end up somewhere completely different to where you thought you were heading!
