Uckiood - Missy Douglas And Kim Rask

Founded in 2011, uckiood is the studio of Swedish-American and British artists, Kim Rask and Missy Douglas. Missy is a former tutor of art history and fine art, holding a M.A. (Cantab) and Ph.D in History of Art from the University of Cambridge, UK. Kim is an alumnus of the University of Washington with a background in animation, sound and design.

With initial bases in Brussels, Belgium and New York City, they immediately made a profound impact with their striking and bold portfolio. They now work out of their Seahurst studio, creating mixed-media sculpture and installations. Fueled by a strong desire to create moments of childlike wonder in everyday life, their single and multi-piece works use the visual language of childhood to reconnect with, and fully explore, the emotions and memories of the little people they - and you - once were.

Under the aegis of uckiood, Missy and Kim have exhibited across the US and Europe in both solo and group shows, and their work has been selected for long-term and permanent public art placement. They have secured a wide range of festival and large event contracts, and have collaborated with government bodies, non-profit organizations and prominent corporate clients such as Facebook and Amazon.
