Self-portraits As The Strings Tying Us Together is a collaboration between Caroline Honas, Hùng Lê, and Bernadette Negrete that foregrounds the artists’ interest in process-driven work. 

Each piece displayed began as a substrate in one of the artists' studios, encountered various manipulations, and was passed to another for completion—or was made by one but inspired by the others. 

This approach gave a deeper understanding of the methodology and aesthetics defining each artist’s practice, allowing the works to act as portraits of their relationship. In the studios, content is set aside and replaced by process. Each piece is formed and transformed, becoming a record of the artists’ hands and the trust built between them over time. 

The result is an exhibition of sewn paper bricks, beaded paintings, and layered works that asks us to challenge the repeatedly centered individualistic approach to authorship in favor of collaborations.
