The frailty of the human body, slippage between object and image, and interactions between the organic and inorganic are common themes that permeate both artists' practices.

Baremboym's sculptures are hybrids of machine-made objects fused with organic materials. Digitally printed fabrics, hard-edged mangled steel, cables, plastic tubes, unglazed ceramics, resin, gelled emollient and vinyl all appear in her work. Magor's work examines the unstable character of objects, ideas and humans, exploring how information is shaped and made ostensible in objects and people. Referencing domestic environments or objects from daily life she questions the desire, and sometimes compulsion, for emotional and physical comfort, and the fragility of the human body and identity.
