Our dogman represents the wild spirit within all humans. But like us, dogs are social animals, and it is time for the dogman to meet his companion: a female rabbit.
In the wild, dogs hunt and kill rabbits, but in our world old rules are discarded and old relationships are questioned. New possibilities open up. The dog and the rabbit become soul-mates.
In our semi-autobiographical works, we represent our own unique partnership. Gillie is English, grew up in Africa and enjoyed living in every part of the world. Twenty years ago she met Marc, an Australian, in Hong Kong. We both dreamed of finding a soul mate who shared the love of art, travel and adventure.
Seven days after that first meeting, we took the road to Pokhara, Nepal, at the foot of Everest, and got married. We like to create works that celebrate love, partnership and creativity, as the dog and rabbit continue their endless adventure into the imagination.
