Catalogue Note

"We work similarly to the way DJs make music. We sample different things from newspapers, comics, signage, photos, books, the street etc. We bring them all together, taking bits from this and pieces from that, and create something new from what was there. We bring these things together to try to convey something we may be going through at the time, or something that we find may have a particular impact on us." (The artists cited in: Swindle, Vol. 12, Los Angeles 2007, p. 83)
