S&S Collision are a collaborative duo made up of Eden Spencer and Nicola Santon.

Working alongside each other since 2016, the two recently came together to explore ideas surrounding the world as we know it today, typically responding to the way in which one views it. The work produced is subjective to the artists, finding motivations from their personal and emotive views inspired by past and present contacts.

They work primarily with video – both videography and editing videos. Recently, an interest was sparked in digital animation video work, masking use of an array of adobe software to create a platform that is mostly screen-based. They tend to use software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Premier Rush, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom and GarageBand to create their most successful artworks.

The work is playful yet connotes the emotions felt by the artists, any humour regarding visuals or audio is done with consideration, they don’t always prefer to create serious pieces. Colour is something used in terms of emphasis upon importance, as well as the use of sound and speed. Through experimentation, they are currently engaged with artists in the field of dance/performance in an attempt to bring importance to the art of video and movement. This is a type of collaboration the two have never approached before and are excited to try something new with fresh ideas and to have more involvement with scenes outside the art world.

They first collaborated in 2019 on a piece called ‘Do You See What I See?’ which was created in response to work seen in the Tate Modern. Their work has inevitably evolved into other areas of the art world but this work still remains in the studios in Birmingham School of Art and means a great deal to them both.
