In "AXIS," the two-person exhibition of Scott Everingham and Kristin Morthens' abstract paintings, the language of abstraction is present in two distinct practices that respond and relate to each other. For both painters, their process is iterative. Each painting acknowledges the one that came before it. Additionally, each paint stroke is influenced by the one that came prior. In the lead-up to the exhibition, the two artists had ongoing conversations across Toronto, Canada and Reykjavik, Iceland, about their practices. Within these conversations, they noticed decisions and subconscious themes that linked both of their paintings.
