They sculpt piles of street rubbish, studio debris, and taxidermied animals into astonishing representations of life with "real" shadows of the artists themselves hovering over their accumulations of discarded objects. These abstract forms mysteriously reverse the abstraction into figuration". Published in conjunction with their 2005 Kukje Gallery exhibition "The Joy of Sex", bad boy and girl Noble and Webster have created an artists' book that drolly appropriates fellow Brit Dr. Alex Comfort's best-selling 1972 instruction manual of the same title by substituting their own images rendered in a similar mundane illustrative style as the graphically coupling couple.

"Olga Rodionova is a well-known beauty who moves in Moscow's fashion and jet set circles. When her adoring husband - a powerful Russian millionaire - sought to have special portraits made of his wife, he asked none other than Bettina Rheims. Rheims was captivated by Olga's unique aura and felt excited by the challenge of finding aesthetic ways of doing the portraits so that they didn't feel like run of the mill pornography. The first shoot took place in Rheims' country home and Olga's husband was so pleased with the images that he suggested they produce a book with Olga as the star. A second shoot followed, in black and white with a sado-masochistic decor and other men and women playing slightly perverse sex games with Olga. A third, Marie-Antoinette-inspired shoot took place entirely in the studio. Rheims succeeded in finding a variety of ways to depict one subject with a continuous freshness and intrigue; "The Book of Olga" is a compelling depiction of female sexuality, allure, desire, intrigue and fantasy. With over one hundred images and an introduction by French author Catherine Millet, this unique book is both a love song and a bold artistic statement".
