Two artists, connected by friendship and a shared commitment to image-making, present a body of work that explores memory, time, and the act of creation. Working across different media and methodologies, their practices converge as a dialogue between past and present—between remembering and witnessing. This exhibition reflects a shared journey of learning: an evolving understanding of how each artist relates to art, and how personal experience shapes the creation of images in the moment. For both, image-making becomes a way of holding onto time—of preserving fleeting experiences and internal landscapes. Martin Crisp’s work is rooted in recollection. Through oil paint, he reconstructs images encountered at various stages of his life, translating memory into form. His process is reflective and interpretive, revisiting moments that have lingered and reshaping them through the language of paint. In contrast, Martin Kurrein works firmly in the present, creating images through the historic wet plate collodion process—what he describes as “slow photography.” This meticulous Victorian-era technique demands patience and precision: each element, from light and exposure to the preparation of the plate, must be carefully considered. The resulting images—formed from pure silver suspended in a microscopically thin collodion layer—are both physical and ephemeral, capturing a singular moment in time. Together, their practices form a compelling tension: one artist reaching back through memory, the other grounding himself in the immediacy of now. From opposite ends of lived experience, both create images as acts of remembrance—ways of holding onto time, experience, and presence. For Martin Kurrein, portraiture is central. Through encounters with his subjects, he seeks to capture something of their essence, while also confronting a recurring sense of self-reflection: “I am a stranger to myself.” His work embraces change as an inevitable force, using the photographic process as a means of personal exploration and connection. For both artists, this ongoing project has been deeply cathartic, fostering personal growth and offering viewers an opportunity to reflect on their own memories. The exhibition invites audiences to consider how images—whether painted or photographed—serve as vessels for experience, perception, and the passage of time.
