"is a collaboration between Lucy McRae and Bart Hess described as an instinctual stalking of fashion, architecture, performance and the body. They share a fascination with genetic manipulation and beauty expression. Unconsciously their work touches upon these themes, however it is not their intention to communicate this. They work in a primitive and limitless way creating future human shapes, blindly discovering low – tech prosthetic ways for human enhancement."
I love this work, the materials they use are really tangible and lo-fi, yet even with the abundance of these materials they have worked them in a really inventive and innovative way! I also think the images of their work add a new dimension to their pieces. A lot of the images mimic fashion photography, yet they manage to make some slightly grotesque figures look beautiful through this! I guess it would be easy to make links between this and the nature of modeling and things like that, but the colours and materials keep some of the images on lighter ground.
I really like how do-able this is, and how it is such a great concept, that's been captured so well.
You should totally check their website, even if it's just for the first page which lets you make an amalgamation between the two of them.
