In a serendipitous collision of roller skates and fate, artists Acktarr Khedoo and Iona Ascherson discovered a creative cohesion, fuelled by their shared love of creating, imagination, science fiction, and the beauty of life's unexpected moments.

Iona, a storyteller with a background in artist archives, sign writing and years of expertise building immersive festival and event installations. She blends narratives and environments together to create unique experiences. With a passion for inclusion, neurodiversity, and mental health awareness, her art is community oriented. She is driven with the intent of providing marginalised members of the community with access to high quality experiences.

Acktarr shares a love for 3D builds with Iona, with a keen eye for detail and finish, Acktarr infuses his art with influences from sci-fi, culture, and video games, and always approaches creativity with a joyful and playful demeanour, which he never fails to bring to his props, stages and sets.

Together, their collaboration embodies a magical synchronicity, where Iona's inventive brain meets Acktarr's skilful hands. Their art becomes a celebration of shared passions and purpose, navigating the realms of design, making and play.
