Collaboration

Cornish and Domergue are two artists whose distinct styles and philosophies create a dynamic and synergistic collaboration. Cornish, a self-described introvert, and Domergue, an extrovert, bring together their divergent practices to produce powerful, compelling art that transcends differences.

Both artists are informed by their respective subcultural roots: street art for Cornish and Sydney's 90s rave scene for Domergue. The DIY ethos shared by these subcultures’ manifests in the artists’ practices, as they innovatively use everyday materials, and engage with the urban environment, to create something entirely new: striking works which transform space/s.

Together, Cornish and Domergue's work explores themes of space and identity, both in a physical and existential sense. Their collaborations speak to tensions between feeling marginalized and seeking acceptance, and yet feeling alienated and remaining an ‘outsider’, as when subcultures are integrated into mainstream culture. Their art balances ambiguity, absurdity and ambivalence, to simultaneously evoke both despair and hope, humour and contemplation, and make profound statements through the silent vacuum of space and the tangible textures of the urban landscape.
