Artist Statement
As Decomposing Pianos,
Julia Krolik and Owen Fernley focus on developing the tools and methods required to present ideas,
such that they may transition from thought to experience. Their process is a combination of premeditated planning
and spontaneous experimentation in which they are free to discover the unexpected within the confines of a structured system.
Often their work is time-based, where pre-defined boundaries are tested through live improvisation. Should their work be a completed
installation or produced piece, this too will exist as a result of the same process: as a frozen moment near the end of an experiment,
or its autonomous continuation.
