Thread of Consciousness
A Personal Conversation Through Shared Creativity
Kato and Jawaria collaborate to produce alternating individual images. Each has full discretion over which key elements he or she will adopt from the preceding work of the other artist. These are combined with new elements, their own visceral reactions, and a sense of continuity, to form the basis for the next new entry in the series. The result is that each stimulates and motivates the other's creativity and this often sends them in wholly unexpected directions. A natural momentum is produced as they strive to surprise themselves and one another.

Aside from a handful of publicly available images borrowed from the NASA space agency, and incidental background elements used in montage #53, all photographic source materials used in the 'Thread of Consciousness' series are original image captures by the artists themselves. They consider the overall transformation from image to image to be a metaphor for the way in which lifetimes unfold and intertwine around us, in the same sense that "Time" invariably changes every personal landscape to unrecognizability, yet also maintains a thread of continuity by which each new moment is undertstood to arise from that which has gone before.
