Absorbing Directions Andrew Franck

Budh & Ray's formative years evolved with the seasons: vernal peeper choruses, summers in a pear tree, autumnal rapture, winter snow tracing. From early on they grew adept at maneuvering invisibly around grown-ups, eavesdropping on the bandwidth of unheard music, educating themselves thru tactile imagination. All along, their kinetic art sensibilities took off, designing contexts for their own amazement. Their work, initiated especially through touch and smell, embraces the "outside" of things by way of inward appointments: Left and Right emanate their limbic resonance; Up and Down configure their vertical travels; Forward and Back, the hidden geometries. From the frontiers of ardor, the cosmos' own coordinates provide their means for dreaming inside of things. Positioning through medium-grade synesthesia and spirited self-improvisation, Budh & Ray endeavor to stir intention with aesthetic traction; to present their aspirations with supernal orientations. Here, amplifying their exceptional attitude, they portray a horizon of intimacies, aiming to vivify the Unseen.
