Raw Art Forum came together as a group in early 2016 - four artists with separate and diverse practices. They have worked closely together since the beginning with a view to creating installation pieces for exhibition alongside work from their individual practices. Working together however requires a different approach. Egos are set aside, familiar materials are discarded, and new ways of working are quickly learnt. Furthermore, the speed of the creative process alters, ideas flow quickly, and are just as quickly discarded - individual preferences give way to group consensus. Each artist learns from the other. It is a way of working that tests and probes learnt certainties - work that evolves from group collaboration creates a certain momentum and has a life of its own, often unexpected. In no small way working together has the potential to enhance and strengthen individual practices.
