TECHNIQUE
This collaborative work, using film to create giant negatives, mixing proprietary emulsion, and creating their own cameras, is characterized by the unexpected way these elements help to interpret the architectural structure and patterns found in nature. Their large-scale, iconic forms and minimalist designs convey a hand-crafted painterly quality with exceptional detail.
The stylized simplicity and scale of their work, some seven feet tall and often in multiple panels, gives art history precedencez so to Japanese screens and ink paintings. Other historical influences on their work include English botanicals as well as the Bauhaus art movement, known for its combinations of art, craft and technology.
