Whipping-It-Up: Collaborative Alchemy

Amundson and Gour have artistically collaborated for the last 30 years. Their work explores the perceptions and politics surrounding the domestic sphere and
identity. They use collage and photo-scanning techniques to speak metaphorically about social construction. Some of their work is literal
collaboration, and at other times, they serve one another in a support role. They are a team who insist on producing challenging work that provokes a response.
Amundson holds an MFA from Syracuse University and Gour from the UNM. Their work has been exhibited in South Korea, Spain, Sweden and throughout North America. They have completed several residency programs; Sculpture Space in NY, Cimelice Castle near Prague, Fundación Valparaíso in Spain, Lademoen in Norway, Bellagio Rockefeller Center in Italy, and a Fulbright in Mexico.
