Collaborating with my friend Rani again.
We did our very first project together in 1997 at the Institute of Contemporary Art, London.
It was an art event/club night. I made a four meter tall Shiva in Paper Mache, wall projections and hand printed invites. Rani performed, inspired by Indian classical dance to a mix of ragas and Drum and Base, DJ:ed by Saul and Mukul. We have since enjoyed several collaborations.
Rani is a dancer and choreographer, but probably best described as an artist as her talents are many and vary. To work with her is like playing, having fun.
At ikea we work with a set group of styles. My challenge was to create a book for each of the twelve styles, that can be used as a reference within the company. Like a recipe book, making the ingredients stand out and their history as well as significans clear.
