The collaborative practice of Amy and Oliver Thomas-Irvine is foremost concerned with creating shifting layers of connectivity and tensions, where image, form, structures and material can relate physically, formally, politically or symbolically to the body and it's present changing environment.
Whilst their work is concerned with formal aspects of sculpture, such as weight, balance, line and form, the core of their work stems from an interest in tensions that rupture those ideals and equilibria, contextually and physically. When something is reconfigured or disrupted it can create a feeling of movement and internal physical impact on the body. It is this state of disruption that interests them and how material and form can be witness to that change and speak to the present environment.
