Biography

Olly and Suzi originally began working together after meeting as students at Saint Martin's School of Art in 1987,[1] and graduated together with a joint degree.[2] Their collaborative mode of working became established during a scholarship to Syracuse University in New York State during the period 1988 to 1989.[3]
