Biography
With a style best described as Post-Punk-Baroque mixed with a large dollop of Surrealism, a touch of Pop and a scoop of Expressionism, visceral, unapologetic and thought-inducing. These collaborative works delve into themes around the politics of the body, gender and sexuality as well as the broader social and political implications that shape our world.
Their first major public installations were seen throughout 1992-97 with large scale fabric sculptures for the Bar 38 chain, followed by the highly influential Harvey Nichols ‘Food and Fashion’ installation at the flagship Knightsbridge store in 2001; the Cow Parade and BT ARTBOX followed in 2002 and 2012 with the proceeds of both gala auctions going to ChildLine. The London launch of the Dot To Dot initiative was city-wide in 2016; ‘The Sculpture Shack’ was installed at Chelsea Arts Club throughout 2017-18, the London Festival of Architecture ‘Tribute to Mary Shelley’ in 2018, ‘Beauty VS the US Machine’ found a home at the Cotswold Sculpture Park 2021 as well as being used to illustrate the escape from mental illness at a major symposium in the USA. Throughout 2025 Sculpture@The Grove, Bayfield Hall Sculpture Trail and the Gas Works Museum Trust in Norfolk all saw more intimate site-specific installations and towards the end of the year the duo created the nation-wide Christmas windows for the Mulberry chain. In early 2026 ‘Seeds Of Ideas//Ghostlight’ [previously exhibited at Bayfield Hall] was installed at the Himalayan Garden and Sculpture Park in North Yorkshire.
