The Project Twins work across a broad range of disciplines including illustration, design, print-making, painting and three-dimensional work. Working together through a process of dialogue and sketching, they are continually reducing forms to their most basic elements. Such use of minimal forms and bold shapes are rooted in the visual language of graphic design and semiotics. Their work presents various dualities between the serious and the ridiculous, the melancholic and the joyful. Humour, irony and wit pervade their work while bold and playful graphics explore ideas of absurdity, identity and the mundane.
