As accomplished individual sculptors, Alex and Emma combined their skills to realise ambitious land art projects. Their shared aesthetic vision is to create monumental artworks that respond to and enhance their natural settings. With high ambitions and a pursuit of excellence in craftsmanship, there is no limit to the artistic interventions they create.
The duo's works fuse past and future, marrying modern engineering with traditional aesthetics. Influenced by the robust industrial aesthetic of railways, they draw on the monumental building methods of the 19th century. By incorporating cutting-edge technologies and materials such as solar power and Medite Tricoya alongside meticulous techniques that mimic historically referenced materials like copper and steel, their pieces serve as beacons connecting different eras. Sculptures like their iconic Electric Gas Lamp in La Ràpita, Catalonia, integrate into the landscape, inviting viewers on an immersive journey to create their own narratives.
Whether placed amidst rustic beauty or urban environments, Alex and Emma's installations become focal landmarks that unite communities. During the creative process, they witnessed firsthand the power of their works to illuminate spaces and forge connections that transcend cultures and generations. Positioning their art as meeting points, they aim to enrich environments with a timeless radiance.
Recently, their son read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, inspiring their work with the thought, "I know not how it is, but this lamp on the post worketh upon me strangely. It runs in my mind that I have seen the like before; as it were in a dream, or in the dream of a dream... for it will not go out of my mind that if we pass this post and lantern either we shall find strange adventures or else some great change of our fortunes." – C.S.Lewis
Their practice extends to limited edition artworks and creative collaborations that challenge perceptions of authenticity. In a bold departure, they fashioned a wooden brace plate to mimic metal, employing their sculpture's patination method. This creative choice challenges perceptions, prompting viewers to question the authenticity of everyday objects and inviting them to explore hidden narratives beneath the surface. Yet at its core, their artistic legacy celebrates the human ability to enhance a setting through structures that inspire wonder and contemplation of our relationship to the environment and its history.
