40” x 30” Mixed Media 2026
The super-fun-totally-bonkers collab of 2 very different styles of art (Timothy Wilson Hoey & Zandra X) that shouldn’t really work together, but do.
Part of the motivation and inspiration for this collaboration is that nothing is too precious—we’re cooking with stuff we mostly already have lying around in our respective studios and throwing things in the mix without getting in each other's way too much. An exercise of swapping panels back and forth–layering, removing, covering up—it’s meant to stretch us creatively, try new things, and see what happens without attachment.
Plus, if it sucks, we can blame the other person.
Our collaboration IS analog. The materiality and physicality of all “the stuff” used in our pieces, from our hands, substrate, paint, and everything in between, mashed-up together, adds its own history and voice to the tangible outcome of the work. This cannot be replaced by AI. With the overly saturated use of AI for everything and the amount of energy required to feed it, the rejection of it en masse seems inevitable as our desire to retain what makes us human becomes (perhaps, simply) important again.
