Elizabeth J. Armstrong - collaborations

I like you

The body of work titled I Like You is a collaboration between Elizabeth J. Armstrong and thirteen artists, some of whom do not identify as such. Armstrong sent invitations to participate in this project with a single piece of paper through the U.S. Postal Service asking the friend or family member to do with it what they pleased. When receiving back the worked paper she then altered the piece and sent it back. These collaborations varied from a few exchanges to many, with diverse and exciting results.

"It is what it is" is a collaboration between Elizabeth J. Armstrong and Katie Dunbar. The work was made over the course of two months and built onsite. The artists worked separately, responding to what the other had done, but never communicating verbally about it.
