Collaboration in art is an extremely difficult proposition. First of all, there’s the obvious hurdle of personalities that have to mesh before the first work can be done, and then there’s the ongoing collaboration that can possibly grow over the years. While collaboration is not for everyone, finding someone where the chemistry works holds the potential for creating work unlike either individual is capable of. It may be another source filled with rich potential. In this DVD, two acclaimed artists collaborate and set a standard while doing so. Presented by AMOCA, American Museum of Ceramic Art
