The Hare: Ivor A Description

Our new project, The Hare: Ivor is a visual investigation. Ivor is an individual whose physical identity is always concealed. At odds with our times, we discover who and what he is through observing him. Quite simply we are fascinated by The Hare, Ivor.

As a work The Hare: Ivor will be consciously unrefined. We aim to discover Ivor as we document his character. Through our study we will see how he interacts with his environment, and by doing this inspect the environment itself.

In the process of making The Hare: Ivor, we will utilize photography, film, drawing, painting, archival material and sound in order to make and present our investigation. The final works will be added to the blog so as to show Ivor in the most honest and natural way we can.

Reducito ad Absurdum

This staged triptych was constructed as a critique on notions of migration and boarders. The title was used, to contextualize and provide constructed meaning to the images.

Finalised work and accompanying text for our series: Fear & Reason

Fear & Reason is an obscure visual narrative.

The marriage of reason and nightmare that has dominated the 20th century, has given birth to an ever more ambiguous world
An extreme metaphor for an extreme situation

From The Introduction to Crash by J.G Ballard

This succession of images depicts the actions of, Märtha M. Meek, she is a murderer.
Five diptyches are presented. These contain; from the right-hand side, a photograph: the murder, and on the left a drawing: her male victim’s persona. Each diptych contains a small statement from Märtha.
A large introductory portrait of Märtha is presented on canvas. This is a visual representation of her psyche. Her loves, hates, fears; her past, her present and potential ‘end’. A final singular image will conclude the series.
