They are interested in the way prisms, or prism-like materials, refract light. They connect this scientific perspective to holistic health. The exhibition examines how “prismatic healing methods [could be used] to clear out all that is overdone, complex, or clogging in life,” as put by the TM Sisters, who are trained in muscle-testing and neurokinetic therapy. “Prismavolt is about the current time in our lives,” said the artistic duo. In regards to prism-like materials like the ocean, the refraction of light can metaphorically represent the process of personal growth. “The ocean…resembles the refracting of all colors from our lives and feeling the kind of clarity that comes with having gone through experiences[,] and [then] coming out on the other end [being] more knowledgeable and at peace.” To express these ideas, the TM Sisters work with a wide range of media, rather than choosing just one. “Each type of art medium informs the next and is a [collage] just like our city Miami is a mashup of all sorts of cultures and ideas,” said the duo.

The TM Sisters have been voted Miami’s Best Artist in 2012 by the Miami New Times, have exhibited in local and international locations like New York, London, and Moscow, and have been covered by The Guradian, The New York Times, Vogue Italia, and ARTNews.

The closing day of their exhibition Prismavolt will be Saturday, October 5 at David Castillo Gallery, 2234 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami, FL 33127.
