David Foggo and Helen Shaddock work collaboratively as marginendeavour to explore our affinities with text and design. 

The Back And Forth is a reflection on our collaborative process and explores the potential of the spoken word; emphasising the rhythmic, layered and repetitive qualities within the narrative.

It was created for Group Show2, an art podcast series curated by Caitlin Merrett King covering topics like work, collaboration and criticism.

The Back And Forth

I am a multidisciplinary artist based in Newcastle working with installation, performance, sound, video, writing & sculpture. My work addresses the complex struggle to achieve equilibrium & balance in society today. It is rooted in contemporary experience in both an emotional (feelings & thoughts) and physical (materials & situations) sense. Language, in all its forms, is central to my current practice & my research examines how it can immerse an audience in multi-layered psychological & physical situations.
