Hell is Other People
"We have been exhibiting as a duo intermittently over the last four years. Typically we don’t actively collaborate on making artwork together; rather we have individual art practices that share the same playground. In the real world we are the co-directors of Hell gallery. Our living space and studios are on the same compound. Naturally our work has come to share domestic links, reference points in popular culture and a similar aesthetic weave. We tend to scour the same locations when searching for source materials and ideas.
We both lean towards a DIY inventory, incorporating salvaged goods and household detritus in our artwork. We share a fascination for the visual imagery of B grade horror, UFO’s, comic books, falling towers, black holes, post apocalyptic fiction, weird science and doom metal. On a more domestic level our artwork can expound on the immediate frustrations of rent payment, talkback radio, disintegrating relationships, supermarket shopping and skirmishes with addictions."
