Our creatures resemble insects, angels, fairies or hybrids of these and are mounted in a simple white box frame labelled with a unique name. We often contain a short narrative describing their secret activities and mischievous nature, giving the piece a humorous twist. We draw inspiration from the insects we observe in our own surroundings, and the displays in natural history collections. We fuse this with memories from our imaginative play as children, and ideas from popular mythology and legend.
We imagine our creatures to be members of an unclassified species, the protectors and preservers of common everyday objects, the value of which has diminished in our modern age. They come to life when humans are absent,scurrying through the mundane and unused items people keep but never use. Our work is linked to nostalgia and memory, as the materials we use have had past lives; the man-made items are now without purpose due to changes in social practices and fashion. The wings symbolise transformation, where new life force is breathed into the items people discard. We believe that our work helps to focus the observer on the beauty of everyday objects and forces them to reconsider the notion that 'new equals beautiful', and to make a statement about the throwaway society in which we live.
