Guy Keulemans and Kyoko Hashimoto met in 2000 and have since developed their careers individually and together. Their work proposes ethical and aesthetic challenges to paradigms of material practice in art, craft, design and industry, with specific focus on supply chains and the regenerative capacities of local resources. They create objects that advocate for new forms of sensory and sustainable engagement with the world. Hashimoto and Keulemans have a love for historical and critical discourse and position their works as tools to open up discussion around materials that transition between the environment and the body.
