Don't ask about the d̶e̶a̶d̶ fly please.
The dead fly was established in 2019 when the pair shared a very small studio space. It seemed that although the room was big enough for the amount of students occupying the space - some students took it upon themselves to override other peoples areas. Some would say JR's space was only big enough for a fly. The dead fly was on the wall for some time, but was it really dead? After relocating into a different studio to begin their 3rd year, the fly decided it was time to leave the pair and let them start their journey into the big world on their own.
It was a tough ride to begin with, deadline after deadline, presentations, assessments, critiques, almost no time to actually be in the studio and create work never mind have a social life. Until one day it clicked, JR² knew they did not need the comfort of falling back onto the University when things got shit. They knew all they needed was a studio, some materials and each other and things were sweet. That is when the dead fly visited them, he said,
"Hello young Sirs,
It has been quite some time since I last saw you both, you have grown older and wiser, both J's and R's hair has change quite drastically. Have you been on holiday to 'find yourself' perhaps? Does it begin with a 'B'? Well, less of the catching up, all I can say right now to you both is it's time to go, spread your little wings my friends and leave this place with a bang, people will remember you because what's not to love about two little gets who can't be seen without the other? Now go and one last thing...never forget your roots."
And just like that it was time to make one final piece dedicated to the dead fly before the pair left Uni once and for all.
Mr Fly, this one's for you x
