The Covid-19 pandemic struck just as we were preparing to start work on a new project – The Whistlers, commissioned by Green Carpet. This was to be created through a series of residencies in the UK, France and Belgium this spring but all work was postponed in March. As such, we have no ‘live’ projects to present but a gallery of images which give an idea of our shared experience and expertise.
