Heather and Ivan Morison are a Welsh artist duo known for their conceptual and performative public artworks.[1]

The duo, Heather Peak (born 1973) and Ivan Morison (born 1974), are based in North Wales.[2][3]

Work

In 2007 they grew and then distributed 10,000 flowers in Bloomberg's headquarters in London's financial district, as an expression of love incongruous with the cut-throat world of economic enterprise.[4] Sleepers Awake, a work from 2011, was an attempt to reverse the order of nature by raising a second sun at night over the north Kent badlands.[5]

Exhibitions

Exhibitions include the 2016's Royal Academy Summer Show,[6] the Tate Britain,[7] the Tate Modern,[8] South London Gallery[9] and the Vancouver Art Gallery.[10]

They represented Wales at the 52nd Venice Biennial.[11]
