Nocturne - a picture of the artists as Robert Smith & Siouxsie Sioux comprises A Kiss in the Dreamhouse and Twice Upon a Time. The images play out a recurring theme in Iain and Jane's early practice - of real and replica, doppelganger and artifice.
Twice upon a time
This is Iain and Jane's first self protrait. The double-edged images are in turn, obsessive, disturbing, pathetic and fantastical. In each portrait the mirror is twisted on to the self and the self lays unnervingly exposed, thinly disguised under a dressed-up surface. Consistently the impact of their work is heightened by their 'twoness' - here, a ritualistic acting out of a shared obsession.
