Main article: N.E. Thing Co.

Iain and Ingrid Baxter worked collaboratively on a number of conceptual artworks under this name. When Ingrid and Iain divorced in 1978, the company also disbanded.[4] When asked about her role in the works produced by N.E. Thing Co. with Iain, Ingrid has responded by saying "Our collaboration was so strong, there was no separation. I can clearly see my influence... in the structure of things, verbal and visual.”[5] Ingrid explains that Iain did the majority of physical labour, but she was present and involved in forming the ideas beyond these artworks.[5]
