GRETCHEN LAWRENCE AND MARGARET TASHKOVA (b. 1997 Tallinn EE) is a performance and audio-visual artist working with painting, found objects, and digital media. At the centre of her approach is a process of rendering accidental resource into subjects that trace an identity matrix of a first generation post-Soviet capitalist consumer. Sound and skinned furniture within Lawrence & Tashkova’s collage animate the artist’s reflection on the Western visual culture characterised by confusion, chance, mass production, and nostalgia cycles.
