Artist Bio
Michael Covello and Elizabeth Schneider have worked as a collaborative since 2016, developing their language in video, audio, and animation in tandem with advancing their painterly dialogue. They met as undergraduates at Cornell University, studying printmaking and painting. Their collaborative art practice investigates humanity’s intricate relationship with nature by combining autobiographical and shared experiences, navigating the shifting boundaries between humanity and the natural world through text, sound, and image. Their work depicts clashing agencies, reciprocal traumas, and an uncertain terrain populated by magic and science, memory, and dream. Their animations have been screened at film festivals around the world including the London Independent Film Festival and the San Francisco International Film Festival.
