Monica C. LoCascio and Rychèl Thérin were both selected to be part of the QM&A Artist Collective 2022. In that process they were paired together to co-create an artwork over several months and their time working together was so fruitful that they continued working together also after the end of the project. They now share a studio space that we will visit together to find out more about their collaboration and get to know more about their practice.

Find out more about the artwork they produced here in the catalogue.

___Rychèl Thérin
is an artist of Jérrias and Māori descent, living and working in Vienna. Rychèl works primarily with photography and video. Family histories and memory; culture and landscape are repetitive themes in her work. Her Turangawaewae (ancestral homelands) navigate how she relates to the world; once your “center”  is located somewhere, like a magnetic north it sways to point in a constant direction. Rychèl holds a BA Fine Art Painting from UAL Camberwell College of Art, GB; and Masters in Contemporary Maori Visual Art from Massey University, NZ.
