You
have since released Bliss & Envy, No Bombing, and Reflective
Passage from Waiting Room Press. What is your intention in giving material
form to your creations? Do you feel that this is a different kind of expansion
than online?
DRYes, as a studio alongside our commercial/client-based work, we have always made time for personal
projects for a multitude of reasons— personal growth as artists and designers, marketing
ourselves, money and for the fun of it. It started with 365 Days of Collage, which as the name suggests we
made a collage a day for a whole year and sold them online for £10. Then we did FIN?, which was a digital publication released each month and then we took a
break for a while. Our book was the next “personal project” we undertook, and to release this we had to self-publish as no publisher was interested. The last time we asked Thames &
Hudson if we could publish a book about our work they said “you are not dead or
famous enough yet”—which is where the title of the book came from and why we ended up publishing Cut
That Out. So we set up Waiting Room Press to release the book. We also had the idea to each release
personal publications on Waiting Room Press and ask close friends too, but only our work has been released so far.
