within the dynamic interplay between life and practice, artists tash kahn and john ros invite us to witness the nuanced unfolding of their creative journeys. rooted in different geographical and cultural landscapes — tash in the quiet woods of surrey, uk, and john navigating the dualities of urban and rural spaces in the us — their shared time at the judd brook artist residency has cultivated new perspectives. in parallax, they explore the evolving tension between nature, grief and creative process, demonstrating how the world around us is not just a backdrop, but an integral part of artistic inquiry.

for both artists, practice transcends the traditional confines of the studio. kahn finds beauty in the mundane, documenting the unnoticed, while ros merges pedagogy with space, light and materiality, provoking awareness and agency. together, their works during this residency speak to the ways personal experiences, collaborations and surroundings become woven into art. as they reflect on mortality, vulnerability and the rhythm of everyday life, parallax becomes a meditation on how deeply intertwined life and art can be — both in quiet reflection and in the most personal, raw expressions of being.
