Click on image above to enter Eley Kishimoto's studio. Once inside click and drag to move around the room. Use the shift key to zoom in, and the the Control key to zoom out.
After the first scene has loaded, look out for hotspots to enter other rooms. As each of the other rooms are loaded in (this may take some time depending on your connection speed), the mouse cursor will change to an arrow as you roll over a hotspot.
When did you first move into your studio?
September 1994.
What made you choose it?
The size, one room to fit 10m print table, a dye room, a clean design and make room, but importantly it is very cheap and it is local to our home.
What are the different roles of the people working in your studio?
We all have individual responsibilities and in addition to this we are all chameleons and adopt each otheršs roles if required. We would like to make the point that it is a team effort and we work well as a team.
Please describe what happens there on a typical day.
Design, print, manufacture, market, communicate and laugh as much as possible.
How did the appearance/décor of your studio come about? Did it evolve spontaneously, or was it designed?
The mess grew with us, it's a very natural process of collecting and not being able to throw anything away.
Is there something about your studio that inspires your work or is it purely a practical space?
It is a practical space but the people who inhabit it are party to inspiration.
