'anything goes when it comes to (s)hoes'

with the recent opening of the retrospective exhibition on caribbean artist chris ofili
at tate britain, charlie dark presents bring the noise, an event that has invited a collective
of young british artists to create their own work in response to the art of ofili. amongst
many of those invited was UK artist and designer insa who created ten-inch heels made from
elephant dung entitled 'anything goes when it comes to (s)hoes'. drawing from the signature
style of ofili who often integrated elephant dung into his work, insa was not only interested
in experimenting and integrating this material into his work but also was concerned with
teaching himself how to work with a medium that at first may seem inappropriate.

as part of bring the noise event, the design of insa was showcased at tate britain on march 14.
