AndSin
Mohsin Shafi a Pakistani artist and Andrew Purchin an American artist, met by fluke in the digital cloud. "And" was captivated by the line work forming eyes on the toes of "Sin’s" feet in his profile pic.
Through the cadences of their voices, the gestures of their bodies the pair initiated a collaborative creative relationship that contrasts with the conflicts between their cultures and states.

At the base of the installation are photos of the artist's legs which have been covered wih dirt and twigs from our respective countries. There are two horses, one is Mohsin's and another is Andrew's. Communication occurs through the tin can phones.
