Interdisciplinary artists Erin Ethridge and Colleen Marie Foley have been working together as Thorn since 2015. As a collaborative, Thorn questions ideas of
shared or composite identity, memory and body. Thorn takes their relationship
as subject and tool, searching for places where the physical and psychic boundaries between them soften and become permeable. In the process, they negotiate dualities of distance/closeness, pleasure/pain, self/other in pursuit of their limits. These efforts take the form of performance work, sculptural tools,
and electronic media.
