Show Statement by Sydnie and Haylie Jimenez:

Our relationship as twins has heavily informed the way we build and maintain close relationships with important people in our lives. Ultimately, it doesn’t necessarily have to do with being blood relatives with said people. In our exhibition Love You To Death we want to showcase this aspect of our lives, and how things like infinite care and the trust we’ve built with one another has helped shape and form countless other relationships. Naturally our art can be collaborative because of our countless shared experiences, influences, and shared values. It’s always a pleasure to show together and express this to others.

The versatility and unpredictability of clay sort of mirrors this sentiment of unconditional love and the struggle that comes with it. Paired with drawings on paper which are inherently ephemeral (as they will not last forever), ceramics and drawing work to form these physically and spiritually collaborative works and ideas in Love You to Death.

On Love You To Death:

The term "love you to death" is a southern saying that implies conflict or imperfections within long lasting, loving, and caring relationships, as the phrase is usually followed with a "but" statement, that often illustrates a scenario of confrontation and directness around a certain subject. This aspect of creating and maintaining long lasting relationships is super important to us. Finding community where love and care is upheld is a necessity for us and often other folks that identify with intersecting marginalized identities such as queer, trans, and black/brown folks.
