All Over

Heather and Ivan Morison (born UK, 1973 and Turkey, 1974 respectively) established an ambitious collaborative practice that transcends the divisions between art, architecture and theatre. Their central preoccupation has always been how we navigate catastrophe and the essential violence of change. More recent works have moved from a wider social view to how individuals transcend moments of personal calamity.Heather and Ivan Morison have exhibited widely across UK, Europe, Australia, Canada and the USA.
