"The absurdity of reality demands a form which dismantles the realistic facade” -Adorno

A need to understand a gap between thought and reality is at the root of our artistic practice. In essence the work is the artifact of play. Interrogating how social structures are perceived versus how they are experienced by constructing a fantasy that questions reality. The fantastic emerges from the anxiety caused by the search to understand the differences between reality and perception. The work attempts to explore this gap, in which the normally mundane may begin to appear strange or unfamiliar. We denote this quality as Absurdity. Absurdity therefore becomes a vehicle for our exploration in video, sculpture, and works on paper.
