Ravi Kashi’s work process and methodologies inspire one to picture him in the garb of an artist-archaeologist: he metaphorically digs through layers, deciphering contexts; he persistently builds anthropological relationships with material culture as his guide; and refers to language and lexicons of meaning as a tool to map everyday culture. The City, in all its beauty and ugliness, its plainness and complexity, is his site of research. It is an entity in constant flux, shifting its skins and morphing its inhabitants - it is a site that has yielded many stories to him, and continues to be his playground for experimentation.
