"Plankton"	In January 2002, at the invitation of Oceanographer David Thomas, Louise Hibbert and Sarah Parker-Eaton visited the laboratories at the University of Wales at Bangor. By using modern microscopy Sarah and Louise explored the movements, interactions and myriad forms displayed by planktonic organisms. They then began to design together, sketching and discussing the various elements that appealed and carefully planned each object. They now work in their separate workshops, in contact by phone and the occasional visit, realising each design in three dimensions.
"Jellies"	Sarah and Louise have made new work based on jellyfish, which was on show for the first time with the del Mano Gallery at SOFA New York in May/June 2003. This latest work demonstrates an increasing sophistication in terms of the techniques used and their collaborative approach toward design.
"Seeds" - including the travelling pod	In March 2003 Sarah and Louise completed a month long residency in Perth, Western Australia courtesy of the Craftwest Designing Futures program. While there, they began to design a brand new body of work based on Western Australian seed forms. This is largely inspired by visits to the seed banks and laboratories of Kings Park and Botanic Gardens. This seed based project takes the artists in a new and exciting direction. It has resulted in a group of dark, lidded vessels that contain a wealth of colour, detail and movement, revealed only when they are opened. The exhibition opened at Kew Gardens, London in November 2004 and will travel to Australia and Japan in 2005.
