Words/Works II reunites artists Barbara Penrose and Nameer Davis in a collaborative exhibition reflecting on language, making, and long-term artistic exchange. The exhibition revisits the artists’ first shared project, Words/Works, recalling a formative moment of dialogue, encounter, and shared practice that has continued to shape their work.
Both artists approach visual art as an embodied and imaginative language, where making becomes a site of conversation and transference. Their practices draw on art history, craft traditions, and studio processes to explore how meaning is formed through repeated encounters — between artist and material, artist and world, and artist and collaborator.
The exhibition foregrounds the idea of art as a living exchange, where myth, perception, and reality overlap, and where ongoing dialogue sustains creative practice.
