Aliça Bryson-Haynes and Lizzy Sampson have worked collaboratively since 2011.

For 2 years they co-directed Coalesce ARI and in 2013 established In The Meantime Collective. While both have distinctively different individual practices, their collaborative work has allowed rich and unexpected outcomes. Their previous work spans across a diverse range of mediums which includes papier-mâché, photography, performance, video art and installation.

For their collaborative effort as artists’ in residence at the ATW, they explored and questioned the concept of being welcome or unwelcome, by creating a series of artworks similar to the form of typical WELCOME mats found at peoples’ front doors.
