Thank you so much to everyone who made it out to "Double Jinx: Echoes at the Old Mill," the culminating exhibition of work we created at the Prairie Ronde Artist Residency in Vicksburg, Michigan, our first artistic "corroboration." We will update this site with show documentation in the coming weeks.
We are excited to return to Vicksburg for an artist talk on Monday, November 21, 2022 (time tba). Please join us at the Prairie Ronde Gallery (101 E Prairie St) where we'll share more artwork generated from the residency and discuss our corroborative process.
Please consider joining our email list for updates and notifications about our events.

DOUBLE JINX: ECHOES AT THE OLD MILL
September 17 & 18, 2022
Hill's Building, Vicksburg, Michigan
In the children’s game “Jinx,” the word is exclaimed when two people say the same thing at the same time. From the moment twin sisters Colleen and Rani arrived at the Prairie Ronde Artist Residency in Vicksburg, Michigan, they experienced ongoing “twin moments,” as they call their simultaneous thoughts. Inspired by the former Lee Paper Company mill and its varied, cavernous spaces, along with the house they stayed in (full of musical instruments), the lush natural beauty of Vicksburg, and the warmth of its residents, they got lost in wonder and play. Days flowed together as ideas and stories developed, echoed and overlapped, resulting in a shared body of interconnected work. As each artist worked her own piece, she was influenced, nudged, and at times even corrected by, the other. One called their process a corroboration; the other agreed. The jinx doubled, and doubled again.
