Their work is critical of normative hetero society - depicting cultural taboos and challenging artistic conventions. They have returned to the theme of the crucifixion a number of times, attracted to such a powerful image of pain and vulnerability. This image is not an expression of religious faith, but rather an exploration of the shared human experience of suffering. It is pain. Totally, every day, every second.

Unafraid to tackle such an iconic image, they impose their trademark format of the large grid, thereby fracturing the image of Christ on the cross. This work shares a common theme across their work: a rigorous examination of the body, often using their own, and the ego.
The suffering of Jesus can also be interpreted as a metaphor for the sacrifice and personal investment of the artist to create a powerful work of art. Boys Don't Cry. An Opening On The Left. My Life as a Weapon. Domain XI Freefall. Untitled Brown Felt. Stratified Landscape 3.
