Ranjani Shettar
Ranjani Shettar lives and works in Bangalore, India.
During her site visit to the University campus in April 2005, Ranjani was immediately attracted to a location in the woods as a site for her work. When she returned two weeks later she found the site had been transformed by a sea of bluebells, and explosion of green foliage. These changes highlighted the challenge of making a work which could accommodate or incorporate changes in weather conditions, and also changes in the flora and fauna of her site.
Shettar has constructed a fence of branches which support webs of bright red fabric. With the assistance of locally based artist and gardener, Julia Rogerson, she has incorporated runner beans. The work is about transformation. Over time as the plants grow up along the fabric strips the work will turn from red to green. Ranjani�s is a continually changing work, each time it is seen it will look different.
