Gates combines industrial and everyday materials like tar, wood, and printed matter into abstract works that foreground materiality and the physicality of humble substances, closely mirroring Faldbakken's fusion of newsprint and raw textile.

Toroni works with paint and raw canvas to explore the intrinsic qualities of materials in a systematic and process driven way, sharing Faldbakken's focus on the tension between industrial surfaces and organic textile supports.

Walker transfers and screenprints found media imagery onto raw fabric and unconventional supports, creating mixed media works that interrogate mass print culture and materiality in ways directly comparable to Faldbakken's newsprint on linen approach.
