Detail 1895

Our office back in 1895. Top floor in the centre is where you will find us. Things actually haven’t changed that much since then — fewer trees and not so many Friars… This is taken from an archive of imagery curated by our neighbours the Capuchin Community.

Surface Tension

We have completed some large scale information graphics for Science Gallery’s latest show Surface Tension… “The future of water is the subject of tension. Water is both disposable and sacred, a muse for artists and a necessity for life – a source of healing and of conflict. The earth has abundant water, but only a very small proportion is available for human use. How should this be managed and sustained, and what would a water-scarce future look like?” Its a great show with lots of food for thought: Surface Tension

RIP Steve Jobs

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
Steve Jobs
