Based Upon app for iPhone and iPad

Based Upon is an artist.

Guided by twin brothers Ian and Richard Abell, Based Upon travels the world to gather narratives, memories, textures and histories. In the London Studio, these grow into sculptural works which look at notions of wholeness and separation, the natural and the manmade.

These works tell stories: of Based Upon’s own experiences or those of its clients. Each Based Upon work carries the intention of its maker; every piece resonating with the personal or physical landscapes from which it was conceived.
