Conjoin:MeConjoin:Me

Conjoin:me is a collaboration between Sian-Kate Mooney and Hedley Roberts who have developed a series of pieces that explore the relationship between the image, the textile and the conjoined form. Examining the concepts and themes of cross-linking, engraftment, mirroring, twinning, and the double, they have produced a series of fabric sculptures using pattern-cutting, painting and large-scale digital textile printing.
These sculptures will be presented at Super-Deluxe, Tokyo, on 31st July 2009 as forms that will be interacted with and 'worn' during a live performance event. The performance will be accompanied by audio visual media.
