In this issue, 'Meet the Templetons', we explore the dynamic of working together separately. Deanna and Ed Templeton are two artists, individually making important work, living under the same roof, and supporting one another in that process. Technically, Ed is on the front cover and Deanna is on the back, but theoretically there is no front and no back. Flip the issue and Deanna is on the front. Half Deanna and half Ed, meeting in the middle with work taken by each artist of the other in Crude Metaphors. We chose Allie Haeusslein to do the interviews because she has known the couple for ten years and has collaborated with them on installations at Pier 24 Photography in San Francisco.
