Artists Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey
Sculpture, photography, architecture, and biology are some of the disciplines that intersect in Ackroyd & Harvey’s work, revealing an intrinsic bias towards process and event and often reflecting environmental and scientific concerns. Their artwork makes explicit connections with urban political ecologies by highlighting the temporal nature of processes of growth and decay in sites of architectural interest as well as contemporary art galleries and museums worldwide. In 2011 they were awarded the London 2012 Mapping the Park commission, a series of ten landmark sculptures marking the entrances to the Olympic Park.
