Bio

Alastair grew up in a farming community in the south of Cornwall, UK, while Fleur’s childhood was split between Cameroon, France, and the UK. They met at art school in London in the late ’90s, and over time their work has evolved into a close collaboration. In 2011, they moved to North Cornwall, the landscape of which has played a central part in shaping their vocabulary.

Typically constructed from consciously sourced, often site-specific objects, their works possess a cyclical quality – building a dialogue with the circumstances of their origins, sparking connections across time and space, and offering commentary on the intersection of ecology and anthropology.

Alastair and Fleur have exhibited extensively in the UK and internationally, including shows at the Busan Museum of Modern Art and the Reykjavik Art Museum. They have worked on a number of public commissions, and their work is held in collections including The Eres Foundation in Munich and the Wellcome Collection in London.
