JEFF +
GODA, are husband/wife multimedia artists, whose latest work is underlying strength - a conceptual installation touching on the relation of subjective and external time.

Throughout the installation a visual and visceral connection comes from hammers. Ten vintage hammers presented on identical freestanding wire stanchions. Each is manipulated, transformed and juxtaposed with images, objects and sound that create a distinctive scenario. The result offers a personal perception that generates a range of feelings including nostalgia, intrigue, amusement, sorrow, and insight.
 

The entire installation is accompanied by a

soundtrack consisting of ambient sound effects, music, and archival educational audio clips.


Sumerel and Rupeikaite have garnered a place among notable contemporary artists of the U.S. southern region. Several of their works have been received internationally, exhibited at such places

as the Museum of Modern Art - New York, Warsaw INPUT Conference - Poland and Vilnius Museum

of Tolerance - Lithuania.

With underlying strength, as with many of their works, Sumerel and Rupeikaite conflate overlooked, common objects with the form and style of art, by wondering “what if”.
