Maslen & Mehras’ collaborative practice explores ideas that revolve around the meeting point and overlapping of nature and culture. Works take the form of installation, sculpture, drawing and photography.

Mirrored sculptures of animals are temporarily placed in built urban environments and often reflect the man-made structures around them. So far, the poignant series includes images made in New York, Paris, London, Berlin and Rome: an American Eagle at Times Square; a European Wolf and Red Squirrel in the Docklands, London; Lynx in an abandoned graffiti-covered warehouse in Berlin….
